After about 30 minutes, the vixen and 2 play-fighting cubs tumbled noisily out of the hedgerow before running back in to hiding.
Over the course of 2 hours or so, I saw the vixen
arriving in the area on several occasions carrying food and taking it in to the
hedgerow and then leaving again shortly after.
I also saw a cub briefly emerge from the hedgerow
a few times but heard them quite often. I didn’t manage to get any photos. The
cubs are continuing to grow very quickly and are probably now about half the
size of the vixen or maybe even larger.
The new area that I am watching is quite
challenging due to the length of the rough grass and other vegetation and this,
together with the speed that the Red Foxes move and the limits of the
auto-focus on my camera, has meant that to date I have only managed to take a
few photos, some as record shots and even less at a satisfactory standard to
upload to my main website.
