I'm going to start today's blog with a couple of landscapes. The first was taken around 8.15 this morning at Seven Sisters, looking towards Seaford. The town is hidden by the Downs, but a lone seagull has drifted into the lower part of the shot.

The second is taken locally, at around 17.30 this afternoon.

And then I spotted the foxes. They were a long way off and there's the field are fenced off, but once again I was able to see six of them out in the evening sunshine.

From what I could see, it appeared as though one of the adults had returned with some food. Which would explain this next little grouping.

A day with foxes is always a good day; but there one further (and very welcome) sighting when I got home. Shutterbug appeared in the garden just around dusk. The light was poor, just at the point where it's a toss up between using flash or ramping up the ISO and using what little natural light there is. I opted for the latter.<\/p>\n

He's quite skinny at the moment, and his coat is a bit patchy. It hasn't got any worse since my last sighting, and looking like this he reminds me of my early photos of the 'old dog fox<\/a>'.

Oh, and late last night (through the window) we saw the cub skipping about the garden. He obviously knew I was inside!
