I am a huge "fox" fan and thoroughly enjoy watching and photographing Red Foxes on my St. Nicholas Church local patch site.

Robert E Fuller recently posted a beautiful video of Red Foxes .... see SS15 wildlife watching: Red Fox family take a nap He has also just posted a video of Arctic Foxes in Svalbard.
Most people, whether or
not they are interested in wildlife, can identify a Red Fox (a
"fox") and many actually see them, particularly those living in urban
areas.
What is not widely known is that there are 2 species of fox in Europe:
the Red
Fox and the Arctic Fox.
The Arctic
Fox has a circumpolar distribution and occurs in Arctic tundra
habitats in northern Europe, northern Asia and north America. In Europe it is
restricted to just Iceland (where it is the only native terrestrial
mammal) and a very few locations in the northern parts of Scandinavia so
it is therefore a rare mammal.
During my trip
to Iceland in June 2015, I was fortunate enough to see 3 Arctic
Foxes in their summer pelage in the Westfjords region and
take some photos of this individual ....
