I watched the same area as on my last few visits and this visit was certainly better than the last in terms of sightings but photographic opportunities continue to be challenging and yet again I only managed a single photo of reasonable quality.
As I approached my usual location, I noticed one of the cubs curled up asleep at the edge of the hedgerow but out in the open. However, it quickly heard me and turned to face me before running off in to the hedgerow.
After about 30 minutes, a lot of alarm calling from
Magpies and Carrion Crows suggested that they had spotted a Red
Fox. I also managed to spot one of the cubs, albeit a bit of the top of the
head and the top of an ear!
Shortly afterwards, the vixen came trotting in with
a food item in its mouth and disappeared immediately in to the hedge. After a
few minutes, she emerged about 15 feet in front of me and quickly ran off when
she saw me. What followed was a lot of vocalisation from the cubs from within
the hedge and they were obviously squabbling over the food that the vixen had brought
in.
My final sighting was of the vixen returning with
one of the cubs closely following behind.
