This entry was going to be about something else entirely (dragonflies), but despite getting my first shots of darters the flighty things have been well and truly put in their place by the appearance of one of the cubs in the garden this evening.<\/p>\n

I'd been outside on one of my regular prowls. A couple of hedgehogs were snorting away in the undergrowth. A black cat slid along the back of the garden, trying to pass by unnoticed. And then a small movement in the far corner caught my eye. I wasn't sure what it was, but waited. A small creature edged forward…

One of the cubs had decided to brave the garden while I was out there. \ud83d\ude00 I kept very still, and watched as it tried to make up its mind whether it was safe or not. It tucked away into a corner…

And then finally decided that I wasn't a threat…
<\/span> <\/p>\n

And finally a proper pose for the camera…
<\/span> <\/p>\n

So the dragonflies will have to wait for another day… you just can't beat a friendly fox cub.
