It's been raining (summer?), but the fox cubs don't mind…
Plus a crowd of foxes from last night's trail cam…
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

15 Jun 2013Hm, foxes that don't mind the rain. Perhaps growing up in a spring like this will result in a generation with atypically rain-stoical behaviour!

15 Jun 2013I am wondering… do they smell like a wet dog? 😆

15 Jun 2013I don't know about Words' South Downs foxes, but my local ones smell like wet foxes! You've probably smelt them quite often. It's like a skunk but much milder 😉

16 Jun 2013Don't remind me! The damn skunks used to get into fights right underneath my bedroom window, and I was at ground level. It wasn't the screeching and spitting that bothered me, but the smell was so strong it would wake me up out of a sound sleep, and by that time it was too late to close the window.
When I was in the dorms in school, one of the lads decided that it would be really cool to have a pet fox … a NYC boy, never been in the country in his life … and I suppose he thought he was getting a really cool dog. Well, it had to be kept in a cage, 'cause it most assuredly WASN'T a dog, and after a week, the odor drew the attention of the authorities. The fox wound up spending the rest of his life in the Lincoln Park Zoo, in Chicago.

21 Jun 2013dW, foxes can leave a strong scent, but I guess nothing gets close to skunk.

21 Jun 2013Adele, at least we've not had as much rain as last year. Far from a perfect summer, but just about ok. More rain tomorrow though 🙁
