For a couple of days I was worried. The bold vixen had seemingly vanished. No sightings in the evening, and nothing of her on the trail cam. She's fine though, and for the past two nights has been back in the garden. These photos were taken this evening. I used the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens (which I picked up from the repair shop today). The flash was dialed down to 1/4 for most of the shots. Aperture was f/10. Click on any photo to enlarge it.

Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens with the Canon 430EX flash unit.

31 Oct 2009She's so beautiful! They do seem a little scattered right now. My dogfox hasn't appeared for a few days, although the vixen has been regular enough.

1 Nov 2009Adele, yes it's gone quiet. I'm getting about half the footage on the trail cam at the moment. One of the shy foxes did show its face a few nights ago, but turned tail as soon as it saw me. I tend to expect some erratic visits and no-shows this time of year.

1 Nov 2009Mark, I have to agree. And her temperament is so gentle too. She's a pleasure to have around.

1 Nov 2009Darko, quite possibly. I took the third shot to see how her eye was healing. Seems to be doing well.
