Another wonderful session with ‘my’ foxes this evening (I am starting to think of them as my friends – strangely!! I have been trying for a few days now to get some shots of the vixen and cubs interacting, and they really decided to play ball this evening.
The main cub in the picture is the one my wife (who has been down with me a few times) called ‘the naughty cub’. Its far more confident and larger than the other two and it will be interesting to see how it develops compared to the rest of the litter as time goes on.
There were three cubs with the vixen tonight; there were five when I first saw them, one of which was killed on the road a few weeks back. Road accidents are a worry for the vixen and the cubs, as the earth is near the road and the cubs are getting more confident… fingers crossed they are OK till they disperse later in the year.
