The cub was stretched out under the shrubs at the side of the pond, and had obviously been there some hours. There were no obvious signs of injury and although individual identification is difficult, it looks like one of the larger cubs. The coat was in very good condition, and the brush full. I&#39;ll need to check out which cubs are still around, but it definitely wasn&#39;t &#39;Skinny&#39;. <\/p>\n<p>At this time of year, with the evenings drawing in somewhat, the cubs will tend to be scattering to new territory so spotting who&#39;s around won&#39;t necessarily be easy. It was about this time last year that Blondie (our sole regular cub visitor then) disappeared, making only a brief re-appearance one night in <a href=\"http:\/\/my.opera.com\/Words\/blog\/show.dml\/21009\" target=\"_blank\">September<\/a>. We&#39;d already noticed a slight change in frequency of visits among this year&#39;s cubs. So far, none has shown up this evening, but I expect Skinny &#8211; who&#39;s the most regular of all of them &#8211; to put in an appearance later on.<\/p>\n<p>Not a great day&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><i>Edit: Skinny and a pal showed up later in the evening, looking fine.<br \/><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/cubs_300806032sm.jpg\" alt=\"cubs_300806032sm\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/cubs_300806032sm.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/cubs_300806032sm-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1142,1128],"class_list":["post-709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foxes","tag-cub","tag-fox","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709","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\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
