Fox (Vulpes vulpes)
Portrait of a country fox.
This is no tame garden fox living on scraps and raiding dustbins for whatever it can find.
This beautiful creature is really wild and used to fine dining. Pheasants, rabbits, rodents and frogs make up his diet along with fruit and berries.
Somewhere, not too far away, there will be a vixen with a litter of cubs. This is why he is hunting during the day.
Sitting out of site and with the breeze on my back, he kept getting closer. Stopping every few steps to sniff the air to check for danger, he was soon just a few metres away. I took dozens of shots as he slowly walked past.
This is where the mirrorless cameras are game changers. I would have got one shot with my DSLR and he would have been off like a Whippet when the mirror slapped down.
