Just one photo, taken this evening. It's a fox… Shutterbug. He came through the garden mid-evening and rescued a 24 hour period with almost no photos and two great missed opportunities.
The first one was last night. We were at the front of the garden when the trail cam flashed red and a badger appeared at the far end of the garden. It was too far away for a reasonable photo so we just stood and watched. It stared down the garden at us for a few moments before slowly ambling away through a convenient gap in the fence.
The second 'miss' was much briefer. One of the less social foxes slid into the garden this afternoon, saw us and bolted the length of the garden, weaving left and right as it ran. A beautiful sight., but impossible to photograph. It was all over in a couple of seconds.
So that leaves me with this shot from this evening. Shutterbug doesn't bolt. He strolls around like he owns the place.
Camera note: fox photographed with the Canon 7D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

He's certainly a handsome fellow. His coat seems a little neater, too.
Robb, well yes I can understand that hens and foxes don't mix too well. I trust your coop is well secured.
Erwin, thanks!
dW, I photographed his good side. He is a bit ragged in places.
Darko, he certainly thinks you're right.
Of course he owns the place. You only own the deeds in the human dimension of the landscape :whistle:
Adele, so true. And his family were undoubtedly here first.
Nice
