The Three Foxes

After a relatively quiet week, the foxes were back this evening… all three of the regulars, including the handsome young male who overcame his normal aversion for the camera. The rest is in pictures…

    That small wound on Bolds muzzle… could that be a bite?

    Erwin, we're really fortunate, especially when they turn up as a group like that and ignore us humans. I never tire of watching them interact.

    Wojtek, yes I'm sure that's the result of a minor fight. They tend to bite across the face, so in time they can get quite heavily scarred. It doesn't seem to bother them though!

    Chris, yes they're related and you are absolutely correct in the relationships. So far as I can tell, Bold's father was the fox called 'Roofy', and he descends from 'the old dog fox' who featured in the early blog posts. But getting the generational connections can be tricky.
