I was all set to post about fulmars and house martins when my plans sailed out of the window as the result of my first serious fox cub encounter of the year.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

1 Jun 2012Felix, yes they do grow up quickly, but it would be nice if they share this space for a couple of months or so.

2 Jun 2012You must have been close, how did they react? Were they keeping distance?

3 Jun 2012Darko, I was about 6-8 feet away. They knew I was there. One was nervous, the other one just ignored me (but eventually the lure of peanuts was too much!)

3 Jun 2012Adele, the vixens are extremely shy. A couple of nights ago we were standing outside when she appeared with a cub from the side of the building. The vixen saw us and shot the length of the garden in about a second and a half, completely abandoning the youngster (which beat an altogether more measured retreat!). From the number of solo visits the cubs are now making, I think the adults are beginning to relax their grip and get some well-earned rest.
