Fox Party

Whenever the foxes get together for their little parties it is usually well mannered and quiet, but sometimes things get out of hand all hell is let loose.
I get many squabbles over the best biscuits but they usually happen when the lights go out.
They always leave quietly once the food has all gone.
But there is always one who will stay awhile to see if there is second helpings. This one likes to be spoken to and always stays a little longer.

    What a privilege to have all of them visiting your garden. Nature is bloody marvellous. Take care.

      Thankyou Marc, I too consider it a privilege, and an honour to have trust from a wild animal. Take care.
      Mike.

    Food and sex can both trigger a quarrel - even in humans, Mike! Keep enjoying these close companions. It’s a privilege and we all appreciate the vicarious experience. Take good care - David

      Hi David, I know what you mean but this is a family and I don't think it was any more than kids playing. They are outside now enjoying each others company.. Take care.

    If I had visitors to my garden like these, Mike, I think that I would spend all my evenings with them. The one that lingers on seems to totally trust you, and he'll be knocking at the door soon to let you know he's there for his dinner!

    With my very best wishes - stay safe - - - Richard

    Thats exactly what I do Richard and they appear to enjoy my company. I open the window and talk to them and they just carry on. Take care,
    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.
