Another party

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.

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.

BINGO!




Just a small selection from the other evening. They sit outside my window and spring into action the moment my bedroom light goes on. They look up at the window to check and see if I'm there. If I am they feel free to romp around the garden and enjoy themselves.

Latest member of the family.


 This is the latest edition to the fox family. It has settled in nicely and is happy to come for food on its own. It has made several visits and does not mind the camera.

The little one is happy in his new feeding place

As usual the foxes turned up for supper this evening and after a few minutes it went very quiet, I looked out the window and saw a little one feeding by itself.
It heard the window open ,
and looked up at me. Dad must have told it that I was OK.
Because it ignored me and the noise from the camera and
carried on eating. In a matter of minutes the biscuits had disappeared, the lights had gone out and the foxes had gone.

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.
