Tonight's blog starts with some trail cam footage picked up overnight. The fox featured in the first sequence is one of the shy youngsters (I never see it). It's got heavy limp on its rear leg. In the beginning of the sequence the fox is badgering a badger on the left of the frame, while a second badger eats peanuts in the foreground.
As for Shy Boy (the younger of the two foxes in the second part of the video clip… the other one is Shutterbug), he was at his co-operative best tonight in the garden, posing first for a portrait before bedding down in the damp grass.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM. Video captured with the Bushnell Trophy Cam.

He doesn't seem to mind a damp grass for his bed 🙂

He's an English fox. If he doesn't like rain, he's in trouble!
Lovely photos.

26 Sep 2012Adele, thanks! And the 2012 foxes must think that rain is the absolute norm. They've known almost nothing else.
