Mrs Fox, guards the den

At home we see one or two urban foxes and so it was with surprise that I spied this one high on the side of a hill keeping a lookout of the crows at this very obvious den. A few moments later she hopped out and was on her way back out of this large valley towards the nearby urban sprawl on the hunt for food no doubt. My lens and closeups of her revealed that she probably had pups in here. The nearby crows were also showing interest here as can be seen.

Oh, I detected all the ravens only on second look! Amazing catch!

I can quite understand my friend as the fox grabs our attention here. Co-incidentally, I am certain I saw this very same fox wandering through our garden an hour or so back. Glad you liked it.

Cheers, Herbert

What a fabulous shot Herb and lovely to see th fox. We have seen the local urban foxes here in daylight on occasion but mostly not until night time so this was a really lucky sighting for you.
The crows actually seem to draw attention to her.

I love this.

Have a lovely weekend
