Routine change

Since we put the clocks back the fox has changed his routine. He usually called just after ten in the evening which suited me fine, I could get a few pictures before bed.
He has now changed his routine and rarely comes before two in the morning so I have reverted to my I/R camera's. This suits me because there are signs of a visiting badger.
So I am doing a bit of practice on the foxes so I can make a success of the badger when it calls.
In the meantime I will have to be content with Junior lazing about on the grass.

      Thankyou Frank,
      I think a lot of the loyalty is attached to the quality of the biscuits I feed him with. Take care.
      Mike.

    You're getting some great results with your trail cams, Mike. I wonder who told Junior that the clocks had changed! I shall keep my fingers crossed for you that a Badger shows up soon. Best wishes - stay safe - - - Richard

      He is a very intelligent fox Richard and probably has a watch.
      I am having lots of minor troubles at the moment from the switch to BT. Good job I have control over my camera's.
      Mike.

    Hello Mike, :=) Those cameras are what I need, and then I can see the images at my leisure. It's exciting to see "your" foxes so at ease in your garden. I also hope the Badger shows up.
    All the best.

      It is a pleasure getting up in the morning Sonjia and checking my camera's to see what happened during the night. The camera is a bit fiddley to get it set right but once you have mastered that they are great.
      Mike.

    A badger and foxes? You will soon be able to sell tickets, Mike. All the best from Ontario. David

      That thought had entered my mind Richard but I have a tax inspector living next door so it might cause one or two problems. Cheers.
      Mike.

    Hi Mike, Glad that Junior is coming and that you have your IR camera. The badger will come I'm sure.

      I will just have to be patient Lasse. I have a lot of night fog lately which ruins my photography. Everything comes to those who wait.
      Mike.

      Thankyou Ana, I have two foxes now and they are good friends, often feeding together as you will see. Take care.

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.
