Fox Playtime

This is a short extract of a much longer sequence I took of Pretty (the 15-month old vixen) playing with Wolfie (3-4 months old), yesterday in the late sunshine. They were play-fighting for a long while, part of a young fox’s education.

Fox Cub and Vixen special

Well I’ve just realized there are no foxes on the front page of the blog and that’s a situation I can’t allow to continue for too long… so here’s a short sequence taken yesterday of Pretty playing with one of the cubs. She has the food and the cub is persuading her to part with it.

Bank Holiday Fox Cub

The blazing sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend was as welcome as it was unexpected (two hot Bank Holidays in a row is almost unheard of). I’ve not done much beyond pottering in the garden, but did enjoy numerous visits from one of the young fox cubs. I think he is male… and he has a distinctive blackish coat, reminiscent of the ‘Little Dog Fox’ from last year. These are a few photos taken over the weekend.
