My Foxes

This is Junior, he visits every night. He first came with his Mum and Dad but they went missing a couple of years ago, but Junior remained faithful and still comes.
This year he met up with a young female and has raised a family with her. Here she is hiding behind Junior enjoying her evening snack. Junior has already grabbed a big mouthful of biscuits and fed the youngsters. I have been invited to set my camera's up in a neighbours garden. I understand he has much going on in it after dark, So that is something to look forward to.

      No luck on the first night Marc. Something disturbed the animals in the area and it was very quiet.

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.
