Oh heck, time for fox cubs! (photo special)

I took these shots in the early hours of Monday morning. The bold vixen was lurking at the front of the garden, leaving just one of the cubs ferreting around.

    What a perfect little fox! In the first shot I can see that mischievous smile on it's face!

    Lovely! "Ferreting around" is quite an apt description! 😆

    In all the previous photos, the fox cubs looked very cautious and tentative. In today's photos this little fox cub looks like it owns the place. 😀

    I know this is very wrong, but I still want to give it a hug :whistle: I hope your camera can cope with having fox cubs in the garden – I think I'd be wearing mine out! 😆

    Thanks for all the comments. The cubs are delightful (and yes I was still thinking about the stoat when I said "ferreting around"). I'm leaving them plenty of time on their own until they get more used to me, but they do seem to be growing in confidence 😀
