Fox eyes

fox eyes

These are from the Fox Watch 2007 album. I'd left the macro lens on from earlier today, so thought I'd give it a go on the young fox. Click on the images for full size.

  2. Cool idea! I like the top one best. Such intelligence in those eyes! 🙂

  3. Greed more than intelligence I suspect 😉

  4. You didn't mention what you baited him with 😉

  5. Only a handful of sultanas! He's a sucker for them.

  6. Super photos!

  7. What a stunning picture 😀 Well done words 🙂 Iam thinking of putting a dish of sultanas out in my garden in the evenings to see if i can get the Fox to come round my garden, i hope it will work.

  8. Mark, good idea. Sultanas are handy because cats leave them alone. Slugs might go for them, and of course mice; but foxes seem to get the bulk round here. If the sultanas disappear leave more out the next day at about the same time (and maybe an egg… pretty much only foxes will take those). Foxes are creatures of irregular habits, but do trawl the same gardens so will come back if they find anything.

    If you do catch sight of a fox keep still and let it finish eating; and move slowly. It'll probably run off, but eventually if you know the time it arrives you can be outside waiting and watch from there. Some foxes will be very tolerant, others will run at the first sight of a human. Of the three cubs in the gardens here, only one lets me anywhere near (but ok, it's very near indeed!)… the others scarper immediately. Oh, and for what it's worth, in all this time I've never tried to touch one or hand feed it!
