That Rarest Thing, a Fox

Or to be exact… two foxes. Just quick shots taken in the garden last night, but the first I’ve managed of foxes in quite a long while. Two different foxes (a bonus!), both cautious about coming too far forward; and I was equally circumspect, keeping still at the other end of the garden and risking just one photo of each. The distance creates the eye-shine, which is a little extreme in the second photo. Both looked in fine fettle, with healthy winter coats developing.

Fox number two, with a nicked ear, stayed further back, but stayed there for a couple of minutes. Progress!

Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM lens.

      Darko, still trying to make time here, but I’m sure they’ll stick around. They never really went anywhere.
