Young fox in the garden

 Because of my age and falling energy levels I am concentrating on the wildlife that comes into my garden. I put out small amounts of popular foods to encourage locals to stop by for a snack.
This young fox caught me by surprise. I was setting up my camera when it came round the corner of the house. The flash made it jump and not knowing which way to run it got a bit tied up.
Meanwhile these two hedgehogs carried on playing ( male and female) and took no notice.

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.
