Fox update

The foxes are still regular visitors collecting mouthfulls of biscuits for their youngsters.
They arrive after dark so I prefer to shoot in mono, I think I get better resolution in the photo's.
The light varies a bit because o passing cars but this does not seem to upset the foxes.
In fact most of the time passing cars are ignored.
Well most of the time. I am now patiently waiting for the family to come to dinner.

    It is heartwarming to see the level of confidence that the foxes have acquired. No doubt they view your garden as a safe haven, Mike, and the restaurant is always open with their favourite food! All the best. David

      Even before breakfast I check the nights photo's, there is usually about 450 of which I can save as many 50 for filing. It is usually a mornings work which at my age is quite enough. I sleep most afternoons after I have taken Jacque shopping.
      Take care Richard.
      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.
