It’s been some time since I’ve posted any photos of foxes, or at least it seems that way. They’ve been around (as yesterday’s video<\/a> shows), but they are prone to scarper as soon as they spot me. I’ve seen brushes disappearing beyond the fence or behind the pergola, but only occasionally do they stay still long enough to get something in focus. Yesterday and today have been something of a breakthrough (the mild weather may have had a part to play in that).<\/p>\n

These first two photos are of ‘fox number 2’, one of the more elusive members of the tribe. I took these on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The boldest of the group (though still far from bold) is ‘Nicked Ear’. He is somewhat erratic, but of all the foxes is the most likely to tolerate my presence (at a distance). He showed up tonight and was in a reasonably cooperative mood (aided by some food scraps), staying for close on 15 minutes. That is something of a record for him. The photos were all taken from a distance 30 feet or more which stretches the capability of the flash to its limits. Still, a couple of the shots are passable.<\/p>\n

Now if only they’d bring the cubs to visit! <\/p>\n

Camera note: Tonight’s photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens. Yesterday’s (the first two) were taken with the EF 200mm f\/2.8L II USM lens.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
