Guess what? Fox cubs

At the risk of becoming repetitive here are some more photos of our fox cubs. I've now seen three of them in the flesh, but know from the trail camera that there are at least four cubs out there. In addition, the trail camera regularly records up to three adult foxes: the vixen, a fine looking male, and what appears to be a lanky yearling.

These though are some of the cubs, now at 9 weeks old (give or take a day).

I'll try to include some other wildlife over the coming days. I just have to drag myself away from these cute little ones. Easier said than done!

    First, beautiful photos. I'd like to contact you to discuss using one for a cover for a book my son is writing, but, alas, I can't find any contact information on your glorious page.

    They're so impossibly rotund at that age 🙂

    Adele, their main weapon is their rump (see second shot) which they thrust out in a pretty effective blocking move. Very cute to watch.
