Some Fox Portraits

A very quiet day today. Leaden skies, rain and a sharp wind conspired to keep the camera firmly in its bag. I did get some photos last night though, either side of midnight. It's the young male fox (still lacking a name).

    Name for fox: Charmer? This might have to change though if he nabs the hedgehog.

    Not a great first effort from me.

    💡 Shutterbug, because he's so interested in the trail camera.

    Darko, yes a choice of names (or one very long one). I'll have to see what sticks.

    Mick, I think every fox is 'Hopalong' at some stage 😀 That's maybe a name for the future.

    He looks like he thinks he's in charge of everything! 😀 Great photos.

    Adele, thanks! He's certainly the dominant fox at the moment, though slightly wary of the badger when the two come together.
