I didn&#39;t really have much time for photos today so I just grabbed shots of what was to hand&#8230; which turned out to be quite an interesting set. I&#39;ll start late last night (early hours), in the garden. The fox cubs were out playing, and lurking in the undergrowth I finally saw one of the adults. I know they are very close a lot of the time, as they appear on the trail cam moments after I go inside. But seeing one has been a challenge,<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fox_adult_0606132394.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Inevitably it was shy, and skulked the long way round the back of the pergola to escape the glare of the camera; but not without pausing long enough for one more shot. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fox_adult_0606132398.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>First thing this morning I headed to the campus playing fields which back on the the Downs&#8230; and got my second adult fox in the space of around 7 hours.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fox_field_0606132425.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fox_field_0606132438.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/fox_field_0606132448.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Regular followers of this blog will know that I am also watching out for the local gulls who are nesting on rooftops. One pair has set up residence outside the window of an office (pressed up against it). The chicks appeared yesterday, so are around 24 hours old in this shot (taken from outside).<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/gull_chicks_0606132470.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/gull_chicks_0606132477.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Work took me out to Worthing (about 20 miles away) for the afternoon.
