Well it's the season of the fox. No doubt about that as all. As well as Shutterbug being an almost permanent fixture, the cubs (or at least two of them) have learnt to tolerate sharing the garden and are proving excellent, and very cute, guests. They are probably around 10-12 weeks old, and increasingly independent (though not entirely as the first of two video at the end will show).<\/p>\n

These first three shots were taken on Saturday evening, after heavy rain. Hence the somewhat waterlogged state of the cubs. This is the bolder of the pair.
