The Pretty Vixen

Over the past few months I’ve been getting very regular photos of the Pretty Vixen at night, and have been featuring some of them on the Fox of the Day page. Today though, she showed up mid afternoon. It was overcast (drizzle in the air), but even in poor conditions she’s a fine looking young fox. She has tweaked her rear right leg (limping), but does seem able to put weight on it so it seems no more than a very typical fox injury. I’m also trying to work out whether her apparent plumpness is just the result of her thick winter coat… or something else.

    She certainly does look sleek and well-fed, Paul … she’s prettier than ever. …

    Hi, she’s still coming regularly. She was around yesterday afternoon in a little bit of sunshine. More photos imminent.
