My Foxes

 

My foxes are now visiting me every night for their supper. Often they are sitting outside my window waiting for my room light to switch on.
This one is Sue named after a friend who recently passed away. She loved foxes.
I talk to them through my open window and they are quite happy to sit and listen.
Sue would rather sit, she appears to enjoy my company and will often stay after all the food has gone and just enjoy my company.

Waiting for supper

This is my favourite fox, I call her Sue in memory of a good friend who looked after us when we visited our local Costa coffee shop. It is a lovely animal, waits outside my window and I talk to her. She will sit quietly while I photograph her.
Here she is saying thankyou with a biscuit in her mouth. She is only about 1 metre from me and often will just come and sit for company. She comes to visit me every evening so saving me a lot of energy walking on my 86year old legs.

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.
