Early morning fox

At 0430hrs this morning  after a busy night my I/R camera captured an old friend of mine in the garden. This is Beatie, the name derived from his broken tail (BT). The pics. are I/R therefore black and white.
 The quality is outstanding considering the amount of light at that time of the mornig ( with a little help from Photoshop of course). These were taken in my front garden so he was distracted by someone on their way to work.
Nothing bothers Beatie for long, he has been visiting me for 4 years now so feels quite safe.

    Beautiful. It's amazing to realise what other life is out there once we have all gone to bed.

      Its wonderful Marc. It has given me another world to study. Every night my garden comes alive and I have a camera that records it. Stay safe . Mike.

    How wonderful Mike, to have a fox that you can recognise as a regular visitor - even if it is because of a damaged tail. Take good care - - - Richard

      I have 3 that I can recognise, Mum is the vixen, Beatie is the Dog and junior. Junior is the friend of the hedgehog. Stay safe, Mike.

    Hi Mike,
    Its always good when you have a fox as a regular visitor, appears she objects to the Hedgehogs having some of what she perceives to be her food.
    You stay safe and well
    John

      Hi John,
      Its junior which is the culprit and you know what kids are like. He'll grow up.
      Stay safe, Mike.

About Me

My photo
Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
