      Blimey Woo,

      How did you get that close, is it an urbane fox?

      That's a lovely shot.
      I too would like to know how you got it, do you have a good zoom lens or do you place the food near a window ?
      You've got the subject so central too - tell me this is all skill and no digital messin' around.

            Oh Woo they are cracking shots, they are naturally, not trusting of us humans, but as with any wild animal a bond can be formed if you spend time as you have.. It is really interesting to the difference between your urban foxes as opposed to the ones who live wild around here.. You can see how healthy looking yours look, whereas although still beautiful, they are much skinnier looking & not such shiny coats around the woods & fields here.. Not such gourmet pickings perhaps.. :WINK1: :D
            Really lovely to see Woo, thank you.. :sunny:
