The first visitor was the nicked-ear vixen who appeared on her own and spent a lively couple of minutes exploring the borders.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_nicked_vixen_0205086005.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>She was followed a little while later by the bold vixen and the old dog fox. These two tend to get on quite well, with the dog fox clearly the dominant party. On previous encounters they have been quite relaxed and friendly on meeting. What made tonight&#39;s encounter different was that on seeing each other they both froze. These three shots cover a period of about 6 seconds as they each considered the next move.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_x2_0205086007.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_x2_0205086008.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_x2_0205086009.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The spell was eventually broken after about 8 seconds. Note how the dog fox is holding his brush straight out. In contrast, the vixen kept hers in a tight curl.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/fox_x2_0205086012.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Following this initial encounter they separated out, the vixen staying near the front of the garden while the dog fox explored the pond area and borders. She eventually departed by skipping over a low fence. He was more sedate, simply walking down the steps and out via the main path.<\/p>\n<p><i>Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1128],"class_list":["post-1124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foxes","tag-fox","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1124\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
