Just a few shots from the garden this evening. As you can see, the grass could do with cutting! These first shots are the cub we've named 'Pretty'.
These next shots are of 'Red', starting with an almost identical pose.
Even he finds it boring :right:
The adults are slowly coming to tolerate me. They still hang back, and scoot if I make a movement. Nicked Ear tends to sit and watch from right at the back of the garden, but occasionally comes forward to keep a closer eye on the cubs.
Camera note: all shots of Pretty the fox cub taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. The final three shots taken with the
EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

2 Jul 2013Lovely shots, Words … and "Pretty" certainly is well-named.
Those shots of Red in his bower of clover are amusing.

6 Jul 2013dW, thanks. Pretty is very cute and had a great temperament as well. Red is actually in an aubretia bed, but either way it's nice and soft and has a ready supply of insects to snack on!

6 Jul 2013Yes, I could see, when I saw some other shots, that clover was not the right answer, but I didn't know what it was.
