The difficulty in seeing them is that they are actually quite active at the moment as the winter begins to set in and they prepare for mating. All this means they spend much less time just hanging out as they were prone to do in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/fox\/day\/album\/slides\/0608070508072813.html\" target=\"_blank\">summer<\/a>, and so sightings are snatched as the flit across the gardens. As in this grabbed shot of the shy fox just after midnight last night (Sunday\/Monday).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/1712071712078304.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/1712071712078304.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Early this afternoon I spotted a fox across the road, coming out of a garden and heading our way. I managed to get to the rear of the house in time to grab the camera (set up for photographing seagulls, so not ideal for this). I managed a very snatched shot, at far too slow a shutter speed, through the window. It is probably the shy fox from late last night but it wasn&#39;t about to hang around for a proper identification.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/fox_shy_1712078323.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/fox_shy_1712078323.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I did slightly better tonight though. The old dog fox showed up again, for the first time in just under a week. He didn&#39;t stay long, but at least he trots sedately rather than hightailing it out of the garden when I approach with a camera. He was even thoughtful enough to position himself so that I could more or less get his head in this shot!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/fox_dog_1712078328.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/fox_dog_1712078328.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Camera note: Night shots taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.
