FOXES ON THE MOVE

There is always something to see when out walking with a camera.

I saw these foxes a couple of days apart, both at about ten o'clock in the morning. Perhaps they were on their way home after a night's hunting.

They both have full winter coats. Each looked stunning in the morning sunshine, so thick and red. They wee very easy to spot in the daylight.

Very often all I see of a fox is a quick flash of a red tail as it disappears into a hole  or scrub.





The fox on the open hillside has had his tail broken somewhere along the way, it has quite a kink in it.















I watched this one as it moved leisurely out of a creek washaway, and then made its way through patches of gorse and blackberries. In the open area I watched as it leap upon something it found in the grass with that funny little jump and pounce action foxes have. It could not have found too much; a quick swallow of whatever it was, perhaps a cricket or a beetle, and off it went.
