Roofy emerged around dusk with one of the cubs. Not a great time for photos, so these shots were with the ISO ramped up, and the shutter down between 1\/50 and about 1\/20. Better than flash as it was less likely to disturb them, but it does create some slight noise\/blur. And the reason for caution was that more than one cub was about. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/fox_cub_1806076422.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">At first it was Roofy and the bold cub<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We could hear noises beyond the fence while Roofy was grooming the young one, and eventually a second cub emerged. It kept to the far end of the garden and not in clear line of sight, but you can just see a peek of a head on the far left of this next photo. And in the one after that you catch a blur of it cutting across the rear of the shot.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/fox_cub_x2_1806076432.jpg' \/><\/span> <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/fox_cub_x2_1806076433.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>While we were watching it flit in and out of view, a third cub made the briefest of appearances. Two cubs at the back of the garden, and the bold one near the front. Roofy was somewhere in the middle keeping a close eye on them. So that&#39;s three and probably the whole group (bar the vixen). No photo of the third one yet.<\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/fox_cub_1806076453.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">The bold cub, with Roofy lurking behind<\/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":[4],"tags":[1142,1128],"class_list":["post-872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-foxes","tag-cub","tag-fox","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872","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=872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
