The whole foxy family showed up tonight.

An amazing evening in our garden. The vixen was late but the dog fox discovered the food stash we leave out, grabbed a mouthful and bolted into the bushes. It was all so quick I missed getting a photo of him. But a few minutes later our friendly vixen pitched up as usual. And of course she posed for a few pix 🙂

While she was in the garden, the dog fox returned and watched from a safe distance. I didn't want to startle him so resisted the urge to take a photo. But he hung around for a couple of minutes, obviously intrigued by how relaxed his mate is with us (she was sitting a couple of feet from me grooming herself).

Then a while later, one of the cubs arrived. This one is quite bold as you can see.

It wandered around, responding to 'clicking' sounds I was making in the roof of my mouth. And then to my amazement just sat itself down in front of me and started grooming.

After this one left, his or her brother/sister arrived for a quick sortie around the garden.

In all, four foxes tonight; but never more than two visible at a given moment. Will get the pix up on the rapidly extending Fox Gallery tomorrow.

But I'm not going to get obsessed or anything. Definitely not 😉
