It gets quite busy in the garden when a fox organizes a party, I only supply the goodies and they arrange the guests.
They do have the manners to show thanks with a little visit to my window to say thanks.
Then it is back to the mayhem to grab a mouthful before it all goes.

About Me
- Mike Attwood
- 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.
I think there was a sign in town, "Party at Mike's house" and they obviously all read it!
ReplyDeleteNo David, I think it was several signs in several towns. Take care,

Now that's the sort of party that I like, Mike - quiet, appreciative, and polite guests ! I shall have to consider appointing you as a party planner for my next birthday!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the very late visit - I've been away in Norfolk for five days.
Best wishes - - - Richard
Sorry Richard seemed to have missed your comment. You are welcome any time but the parties only last about 10 minutes. Take care.
DeleteMike.
Nice to read Mike ! Keep the party going ;))
ReplyDeleteGreetings Lasse
Thankyou Lasse, I have a family of 5 foxes and I thoroughly enjoy their company. They love to play in my large front garden where they are most welcome. Regards, Mike.
DeleteIt's good to see them not falling out Mike. And I do think that one is doing his Oliver Twist piece and asking for more as well as saying "Thanks".
ReplyDeleteSorry I am a bit late Phil, still having troubles. I put my animals first.
DeleteGlad you can see the funny side of their antics. Take care.
Mike.
