    Fantastic pic! You are so lucky to have them around you. Aren't they spooked by the dogs though?

    cheers

    What a beautiful wildlife portrait.
    I believe in wildlife 100%
    But sadly in many area,s foxes are gettimng out of control, they have no natural preditor to keep them in check.Try leaving your chickens out one night. I guarantee (even in towns) the fox will clear up.
    Just thought i would be devils addvercate.

    Just a super pic Woo. Thank you for posting it.

    In my last garden foxes were regular visitors and they brought the cubs to play.
    They didn't mind our presence at all.
    I know they get a bad press but they didn't do any damage in my garden at all. In fact they were excellent are gobbling the slugs and snails.

    Fantastic picture - We often see foxes early whilst walking the dogs. They're lovely.
