| | | Fox close encounter
This was last Saturday evening. As I was packing a few things in the car ready for an early start the following morning, one of the neighbourhood foxes strolled past. I grabbed my camera which just happened to have the 150mm macro lens on and started shooting... 
He walked on to my neighbour's front garden and I lay down on the pavement to get a better angle...  
Then he got bored, had a good yawn and stretch before disappearing... 
I suspect a youngster. He was not at all concerned by my presence but seemed intrigued by what I was doing.

Many thanks for the comments everyone! Quote:
