Basically, I’m grinning ear to ear. I’ve just been in the garden and expected to see the large male adult fox who has been a constant visitor to the garden. To my utter delight I instead was met by a tiny little fox cub! It’s clearly only just beginning to explore away from its den. So cute and so small! I managed a few quick photos before it retreated to the cover at the back of the garden.

First sighting of a fox cub in 2017. It’s tiny and probably not more than about 6 weeks old.

That’s a big mouthful, little fella!
This is who I had been expecting to see. The adult male fox gathering food last night

Many more hours watching ahead of me in the coming weeks. Has quite made my Easter!
