Fox mum the provider 13.5.2015 (1)
We had begun to entertain the thought that we would blank today, not an altogether unfamiliar situation.
We had staked out possible fox locations and sat like toby jugs from 9.45 until 4.30 with only two fleeting sightings of foxes.
Then as our thoughts were hardening into possible reality my husband spotted a vixen with a couple of cubs on a farm track with trees and bramble on either side making for very poor light.
We had gather and chopped up road kill as possible bait and so we eased forward in the hope of a few shots as by this time we e were getting rather tired.
This is what I managed with a combination of 100 x 400 and the 300 lens.
The mum found our bait and to our delight took it to her cubs who greeted her enthusiastically but light was a problem.
