    Great picture Woo :thumb: Something I miss from living on the mainland. We have no foxes, squirrels or snakes here on the island. Don't miss the snakes though!

    Lovely photos Woo.:dbgrtmb: You are so lucky to be able to get in close enough to get fantastic photos,but then again as you are an Owl you would be able to sit up a tree and not frighten it off like we humans would do :D

    Great shots of Mrs Fox, Woo. Thanks for sharing them.
    In our last garden we had a vixen who came about. She was happy to lie about sunbathing.
    She brought her cubs to play - they are very playful animals. They brought items they had picked up in neighbouring gardens - shoes, soft toys, that kind of thing and made off with small items left lying about. They're quite delightful to watch. Sorry no pics.

    Fantastic photo's, Woo! It's amazing how animals know who to trust. If she turns up with cubs just to show you that'll be an honor!!

    Its so very true Woo, animals seem to have a natural built in instinct as to who they trust and those they dont.

    When we let out Ming out in the garden he likes to stand at the gate and watch people go by.

    The odd random person who passes he will bark at and be very upset by,

    oviously knows something we dont :scratch:

    I wish I had the knowledge to use my cameras correctly, if it meant I could get anywhere near shots like those I would be one happy chappie
    Well done and keep up the great work
