I&#39;m not sure whether this is the dog fox from last year or not, but the adult seemed reasonably comfortable with camera&#8230; less so with the cubs and there were several stand-offs. The adult spent most of the time on the garage roof, and eventually took to the heights of the main roof (see previous post). It&#39;s a fairly easy stroll up from the garage roof, but it was stunning to see him silhouetted against the night sky. The photos don&#39;t do it justice, but they&#39;re the best I can do.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#39;s some of the action in images:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706057.jpg\" alt=\"fox_290706057\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706057.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706057-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\">Arrival<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706058.jpg\" alt=\"fox_290706058\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706058.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706058-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\">Checking it out<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706079.jpg\" alt=\"fox_290706079\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706079.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_290706079-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\">On the wall<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_cub_290706082.jpg\" alt=\"fox_cub_290706082\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_cub_290706082.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_cub_290706082-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\">Stand-off with a cub (adult on right)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_roof_290706113.jpg\" alt=\"fox_roof_290706113\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_roof_290706113.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/fox_roof_290706113-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\">Scaling the roof<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I also caught some of the fun on video. In the opening sequence, the adult is on the right. It disappears behind the shrubs, and a cub follows. Then there are scenes on the garage roof, and one of the youngsters makes a brief challenge. The adult is later seen back in the main garden before a final still on the garage roof.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/_mYZit8BSDg\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/_mYZit8BSDg\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" allowscriptaccess=\"never\" \/><\/object><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_mYZit8BSDg\" target=\"_blank\">Direct link<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,4],"tags":[1142,1128,58],"class_list":["post-688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-behaviour","category-foxes","tag-cub","tag-fox","tag-video","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
