Foxes II

[Maarten]

These foxes are the same one as in my first post. I tried and tried to get some shots of the cubs but they were never brave enough to leave the long crops.

arr lovly makes me want to see them more,where about are you that you see them?

[Maarten]

I am quite lucky as I go to a private pond that is surrounded by trees. It used to be fished but in the last 5 years it has been left to get all overgrown and has been left to the wildlife. As it is fairly rural I am the only person that ever visits there. It is quite common to stumble across the foxes through the daytime when I first get there. The owner has even told me stories of the cubs bumping into his legs as he has sat there on a summers day. It is the thought of this that keeps me going back. I have heard them playing many times but never got a photo of them.

where about in the UK is it?

It sounds an idealistic place to be. the shots are out of this world. Wonderful..My husband used to fish in a place like this, we went there when the lake was frozen and saw a large fox dead on the lake it tried to cross the frozen lake but only got half way across and fell in. But still a lovely place to go. He swears he saw a black big cat there early one morning, you never know.

Beautiful shots again.

Phil, I am on the Essex coast.

Kayleigh, we have had similar reports of big cats in this area. There was even reports of a pony having scratches on its back end.

Words, thanks for your kind reply.

there is a documentary on channel 4 monday 16.04 'cutting edge'. described thus:-
Meet The Foxes.
This modern day fairytale uses footage of dozens of foxes and archive film to reflect the typical experience of urban foxes in Britain and tell the story of a year in the life of a virtual fox family - Miss Fox and her four cubs, Naughty, Lazy, Sickly and Timid the vixen - as they try to survive on the tough streets of London.
