Got snowed off yesterday, so went to Fingeringhoe wick nature reserve for a walk. Bumped into a kingfisher at kits pond, both surprised, naturally it flew off!

Saw my first Tree creeper, it out flaked me on the blind side of the tree!! Typical! But did manage this shot in the rain after the snow!

These Kit Foxes had just come out of their den! I took this image at the start of my owning a digital camera Nikon D7000-boy did I have a lot to learn...and still learning....

My husband and I took a long weekend trip to go and photograph a red fox den we knew about. I am glad we di because the den was a perfect view and the red fox kits were very active. Plus beautiful light most of the times they were out!

When I look back, this was such an awesome encounter....to have the camera knowledge back then that I have now, I'd probably have taken 10x's as many shots then what I have and most of them would be sharp and in focus better then they are...but the images I do have are priceless!!

Thank you all for your views, comments and faves!! Have a great weekend-be safe and healthy! :)

Looking for Help

Mom and three kits were caught on camera almost every night in our backyard. Mom and one of her kits stopped showing up. Concerned for the two little ones left behind (and visible on camera) I called the Fish and Wildlife Dept. When I told them mom and one kit had been gone for two weeks, I was told mom was probably NOT coming back, that she was either dead or trapped. After speaking to them we decided to let nature take it's course. Eventually, they would leave on their own.

Well, I am really relieved to say after over 3 weeks mom and the other kit are back with the two left behind. The three little ones were rolling around in the yard as if they were happy to see each other...and all four walking the fence line with mom in the lead! (Now I can sleep better!)

I appreciate your visit and so grateful for your comments/faves!

Stay safe and healthy!!

Just clambering up his tree, not a care in the world... Clearly not used to climbing though as he kept looking down!!

At a hide near to Blairgowrie in Perthshire, I was waiting excitedly for pine martens to appear, but I was overjoyed when they brought along their kit. The whole experience a joyful one, especially as it was my 65th birthday.

Red Fox kit

This Kit and several other Kits had been hanging out in a dirt pile in my back yard and this part was cool, I got to take photos of them while I was sitting in the house!

A young red fox kit practicing his glare on me,lol.

The red fox is the largest of the true foxes and one of the most widely distributed members of the order Carnivora, being present across the entire Northern Hemisphere including most of North America, Europe and Asia, plus parts of North Africa. It is listed as least concern by the IUCN. Wikipedia

Sitting and watching the photographer, a fox kit enjoys a warm summer day. This kit was probably born in April, so it is about 3 months old. Summer is short and in another month, this kit will be full grown and out hunting on its own.

I always thought children grew up to fast, and we have them in our care for between 15 and 20 years. A fox kit is born and on its own in less than 4 months.

Northern Wisconsin

This little fella lived in a den right near a pond. This was taken early in the summer and the fox kits still were not out much. On this day, they would play for a while, then run back to the den if the wind blew or a duck or gull made a noise. There were feathers all over the bank of the pond, remnants of meals past. The kit was fascinated by, yet not sure of the photographer.

Older image, but kits never get old.

Two Fox Kits wrestling on the grassy tundra can make a person laugh. Sometimes, the Kits can be so funny that you just have to put the camera down and simply enjoy the moment. The Kits are just like human children, picking at each other and wrestling, jumping someone when not looking. Their first summer on this green earth is nothing but playing, resting, eating and repeat.
