Devon Fox Cub

Forgive me putting it on again, I'd messed the settings up somehow so noone could comment; I hope it's ok now. Thanks very much for letting me know and the favourites too; I'll catch up with my messages soon : )

 

I was thrilled to find 2 fox cubs on the first evening on holiday in Devon. As far as England goes it was a really remote valley, I could have been the first person they'd ever seen ! There were three cubs but I didn't see any adults, judging by the constant gunshots from neighbouring farms I can imagine what happened to them. The cubs were big and healthy but their future is far from bright, the guy who owns the farm said to me he'd rather I'd have shot them with a gun than a camera. They'll be lucky to live long enough to breed themselves, such is the brutal reality of fox life in our countryside.......

 

I did have a relaxing time though apart from that, I saw a hobby chasing swallows high above the valley, a dream come true ! I'm trying to catch up with everyone in the next few days : )

 

PS I hope it works now !
