Sue the female fox

I set a I/F camera last night outside my front door as there had been signs of a fox  just lately. Sure enough this morning I had pictures on the camera these two being the best taken at about 2o'clock in the morning. This fox I have named Sue, I did this when I realised she was pregnant. As you can see now the birth has taken place.
I am now having to wait patiently for a couple of weeks or so to be introduced to the family. We shall have a party in the garden to which I shall of course supply the food.

    Congratulations, Mike. You will be a surrogate father to the foxes! I am sure that all of your readers are looking forward to seeing the kits. They are wonderful little creatures and several times I have had the pleasure of watching them grow up. Best wishes, David.

      It will be a great pleasure David to watch the little ones grow up. It will make my blog very popular if I can get some decent pictures.
      Take care,
      Mike.

    You are right Frank. The problem is that I am impatient I don't think I can wait that long.
    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.
