Sorry again i am very busy at the moment with work but im trying my hardest to keep up on flickr.
When taking this i was at one of my favourite places down west Wales a small reservoir, where i have visited for most of my childhood or at least for the past 12 years. At this reservoir i have watched Canadian geese family raising their chicks every year, little grebes, loads of dragons and even foxes on a few occasions. But on the previous trip i was down there taking this image and a man walked towards me carrying a big gun, i asked what it was for and he said with a proud sort of tone to shoot foxes, he had also killed the family of geese that had been nesting there every year. He shot the geese because they are territorial and there were getting too many. But if he doesn't shoot the foxes there wouldn't be overpopulation of the geese!!! (Which he didn't agree with) It is private land and he said he was hired by the farmer, but this has been driving me insane the last few weeks, and i have to notice that i have seen no foxes down west Wales at all this year and i always see them on my walks down the coast! And along with this stupid badger cull i am really disheartened at the moment. Is there actually any law against shooting foxes?
Sorry for such a long story and also if i have offended anyone.
This was a stack of about 8 images and was taken with the use of a twin flash kit (from the university) i have been avoiding using this much as i have to give it back soon and have been spending the time trying to get more natural lighting stacks.
