Fox this morning, 15 minutes or so before sunrise. It was jumping up and down to spook out some bunnies right next to me. Sadly I had the ISO at 8000 and shutter at 1/160 so didn't make the best of the moment. TBH I think I was just enjoying watching the fox too much... that's my excuse :)

Yes, they seldom hang around in the valley. I must have caught it in a good mood.

Heron and hare this morning.

A very healthy looking Reynard. One of this year's cubs perhaps?

Definitely JS. One of three of this years cubs that have a den close to a farmhouse. Growing up quickly.

Thanks Willpar. Yes, looking very good.

Cheers Snappy, yes looking very healthy. There are loads of rabbits around there so won't go hungry I think.

Fox out hunting in the local valley this morning.
