My local Red Fox Vixen, with one of her cubs from last year. It is almost like they were posing for a family portait. An absolute privilege to able to spend intimate moments like these, with such stunning wild animals.
Lovely to observe a family of Foxes emerge from their woodland cover to go about their business in peace near to where I work, early yesterday morning. They really are stunning creatures.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said he believes in the "freedom to hunt" and wants fox hunting legalised. He has said he has "always been a strong supporter of country sports" and that "it is [his] firm belief that people should have the freedom to hunt". After their majority win in the election on 7th May 2015, the Conservatives will very likely hold a parliamentary vote on repealing the fox hunting ban.
The practice of fox hunting involves setting a pack of dogs on a fox and then chasing it on horseback, usually in traditional dress. The "sport" is to many people a vicious and outdated pastime, and the idea of repealing the ban put in place by the Labour government, so that people like Cameron can hunt and kill helpless creatures, is a horrific one.
Please sign this petition to show the Prime Minister how archaic his view is on the topic of hunting for sport, and show your support for the animals that the ban currently protects.

So after an absence of a year or so, I now have a new Fox resident in my garden.:)
As you can see she's taken to sleeping in my raised beds, where I've just planted fledgling lettuce and Chard, who needs veg anyway lol.:)
She's also nursing, so her cubs are probably living behind my shed, as that's where she disappears to after grabbing a mouthful of food.:)
Have a Fabulous Friday Y'all..:)
One of my favourite moments from my time spent photographing a wild Red Fox family this Summer.
Thanks again to all for taking time to view my gallery.

These shots were taken during an Anti Fox Hunting Demonstration through London on 29/05/17 in the run up to the general election. The march was well received by the public and the Tories identified their planned free vote on the reintroduction of fox huting as one of the reasons for their loss of seats.

A coalition of ant-hunting groups organised a Back the Ban anti fox hunting march on Downing Street. It was estimated around 2,200 protesters marched from London’s Oxford Circus.

2 Days ago I posted how I had never photographed a wild Fox. I never dreamt I would be out in the same week being taught by a mammal specialist on how to track them through the fields of the Shropshire countryside.
Today I have been out with Tris Pearce. This gent is an absolute mine of information on mammals and I feel privileged to have spent the day with him today. I have learned so much, I have been shown different prints, paths, scats, scents, habitat and what to look for. He even led us to 3 different Foxes! Tris even got us close enough to get some really good photos.
I can't wait to get out and put it all into practice and find my own local foxes.
Thanks once again Tris. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge.

What a shambles!
On Boxing Day morning I went to see the "spectacle" that is the Albrighton & Woodland Hunt. It was comical to watch.
Not one of the hunt masters actually looked like they wanted to be there. They rode with stern faces and gritted teeth. As soon as they saw the camera they looked away as if they had something to hide.
Maybe their angry faces were because of all the effort that had gone in to putting up crowd control barriers when there was hardly anyone there to actually watch.
The hounds were allowed to do as they pleased whilst in the street. Urinating and fouling all over the church yard. Several were scrounging in litter bins for food, do they not get fed in the kennels?
Owners of small dogs were forced to pick up their pets as the Hounds were harassing them.
Riders were happily drinking shots, one after the other, whilst on horseback whilst some looked and sounded like they had had a skin full already. Some riders were using mobile phones whilst riding.
"Security guards" strolled around in hi vis vests that belonged to construction companies and the terrier men stood around huddled in little groups.
A lady was walking, dressed in hunting attire, round the few spectators rattling a bucket begging for loose change?
One rider, a young girl I believe, lost control of her horse and it threw her off. A bystander commented she had suffered back and neck injuries. A road out of Newport had to be closed by 2 police cars, Air Ambulance attended as did an Ambulance. The hunt rode by uncaringly whilst she lay on the cold, damp road receiving treatment. Not one stopped.
There was one extremely stressed horse that had been left in a box at the rugby club.
On the way out of Newport the hounds were allowed to run on ahead, on the wrong side of the road, on a road with a 60mph limit whilst approaching a blind bend.
Surely this kind of behaviour shouldn't be allowed to go on, let alone the fact they were on their way out to kill foxes....
