It really is turning into a miserable early summer. Almost nothing but rain (yet still the English drought persists). It's not good for getting outside and I've only a couple of shots from the day (but some trail cam treats may make up for that a little).
This was taken early in the morning through sodden mist.
And these two at lunchtime through light drizzle.
It damp and misty last night as well, so these aren't the best of shots, but it is a treat to see Mama Vixen together with her cub. So far we've only seen one cub (though the nightly noises from nearby suggest that there may be more).
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. Foxes by the Bushnell Trophy cam.

10 May 2012This weather is diabolical, cold and wet. :yuck:
But so great that mother and cub are willing to brave it. :up:

10 May 2012Still so rainy? I look forward to walking Khamsin in Norfolk marshland-turned-lake when I return :right:
But the foxcub must be making up for the weather a bit 😀 Are you going to name him?

10 May 2012Mick, hopefully the next few days will prove better weather-wise. It's beginning to wear me down.

10 May 2012Adele, more rain today, but we may get a few days respite. Everywhere is sodden, with localised flooding. :irked: I've not named the cub yet… early days. No doubt if it becomes a regular I'll have to think of something.

11 May 2012Mick, it's ok at the right time and place, but it has been a bit excessive. And though most of the country has had droughts orders lifted, we're not among the lucky ones. We're still 'in drought' despite the sodden mess out there. :right:

11 May 2012The news today was saying the weather has put the growing season three weeks behind. The farmers are going to be in trouble if they don't see some drier, warmer conditions.

12 May 2012Yesterday we saw a grey squirrel, one of the rare ones in the neighbourhood. The rest of them are black 😆

13 May 2012Darko, You have black squirrels! Excellent. 🙂

13 May 2012Mick, hopefully things will improve a little. Agriculture is really suffering here as well, though if we get some warm weather the bountiful rain may have been of use.
