We've had very few real sightings of the foxes lately, but while I was outside taking the Pond Portraits<\/a> I could hear the distinctive call of the foxes somewhere nearby. The shy white-tipped fox had been through the garden earlier in the day, and it seems she is gradually coming to dominate the territory. We get more sightings of her, brief as they are. <\/p>\n

She tends to wait for me to disappear before venturing forth, and sure enough when I popped inside to get a fresh battery for the camera she appeared at the rear of the garden. I managed a single, distant shot of her. It was very grainy, so to recover anything usable the shot has suffered from some fairly heavy noise reduction. That's what gives it a somewhat artistic (some might think otherwise!) look. Anyway, it's the only fox shot for several days, so I'm going to post it!

I had one other relatively unusual sighting. A wet squirrel. This one was out in fairly consistent drizzle, the usually fluffy tail looking more like a length of frayed string.
