To my surprise the fox decided to spend part of the afternoon somewhere other than on his roof top sanctuary. I thought he'd taken root up there! Instead he decided to sun himself on the paved area at the side of the garden pond. It's a warm spot, and he was extremely relaxed which gave me an opportunity to take some video (which I'll edit soon). Plus a few photos \ud83d\ude42

Compared with the old dog fox, he is a fairly skinny little thing, but that might in part be due to a heavy moult (you can see the darker under-coat on his rear flank). There were no obvious signs of the scratches and minor wounds I'd noticed a couple of weeks ago. I'd say he looks fairly content with things at the moment.

I also continued hunting out the insect life around the garden and came across this tiny little moth (less than 10mm span)

These two aren't quite as pretty…

I've added some more photos to the April Birds<\/a> album, and the 2007 Quick Pix<\/a> album has also had some recent additions.<\/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":[77,4,251,1009],"tags":[1128,107],"class_list":["post-829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dragonfly","category-foxes","category-moth","category-spiders-2","tag-fox","tag-insects","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t
