The Fox
-
I live in a farm house, the farm is not in use, but just behind the farm is a small forest area. Even though I’ve lived here for nearly a year and a half, up until yesterday, ive never photographed in the wood. Anyway the last two evenings the sunset has been increadable, but unfortunately i’ve missed the oppertunity to capture it. So this evening i thought got to get away from in front of this keyboard and get out !!
While dandering over the field to the wood, i was checking my camera settings, I looked up and there about 10 meters away was a large fox, we sort of seen each other at the same time, don’t know why he didn’t spot me sooner, guess he was on his way over to the next field to watch the lambs :twisted:
Anyway sun set wasn’t that great, so here’s the fox

I think foxes are fairly consistent in the routes they take, might be
worth putting out a bit of food, and setting up a bit of a hide nearby?
Might take a few weeks but would be worth it.shutterbug wrote:

Seemingly this attracts rabbits and foxes as it replicates an animal. Never tried it myself but a well known nature photographer down this way was aware of it.

I was told by a hunter that the polystyrene thing definitly works. I heard rub the poly on some perspex but the outcome is the same.
Nothing to worry about, the truth is that the fox has more to fear of your cats than the cats have of the fox. Cats are well armed and can be pretty vicious when confronted, the fox probably wouldn’t even want to come near them if possible, let alone consider tackling one – too much to lose for a wild animal if it gets injured. I’ve seen an urban fox after scraps from someone’s bin, plenty of cats after the same thing and the fox was only opportunely nipping in and grabbing what it could before being warned off. If you’ve ever seen a wildlife documentary where the jackal is trying to pick at a lions kill, you’ll get the picture.
