The autumn sunshine is perfect for photographing foxes, and Solo (the 6 month old vixen) has been out and about quite frequently over the past few days. Here she is hiding behind some shrubs and seed heads. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography

Here's another black and white portrait of Solo, the young vixen, taken yesterday. She looks quite serious in this one (which is unusual!) https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #foxcub #blackandwhite #photography

We don't see this fellow too often but he's one of the group of foxes who hang around with Lopa and probably the eldest of them (and the shyest!). I snapped this photo as he ventured to the front of the garden (while I was safely - from his perspective - […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

It's time for a black and white portrait of Solo the young vixen. She's still much smaller than her mum but is growing up fast. Tis was taken a couple of weeks ago and processed in #Lightroom (for those interested in such things) […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

A recent portrait of Solo, the young vixen. She's now about 6 months old. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography

Here's Solo, the young fox. She's still really small compared to her mum and can be quite skittish at times especially in the recent wind and rain. Foxes hate noisy weather! https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography

This is Solo, the young vixen, keeping watch through the long grass. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography

Solo the fox cub is beginning to look like a proper grown up fox! She's still much smaller than her mum, but is already showing off her hunting skills chasing insects and the occasional mouse. Here she is just chilling in the sun […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

I mentioned recently that Solo the fox cub has acquired a wound on her flank. You can see it very clearly in this photo taken a week ago. It looks quite nasty but isn't bothering her at all. She isn't worrying at it, her movement is fine with no sings of a […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Here's SoLo the fox cub out in the garden. She's growing up quickly and getting into scrapes, as all foxes do. We've noticed a tear in her right flank (possibly a bite or a rip). It seems to be healing and thankfully isn't causing her any obvious problem […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

The little cub is growing bolder by the day. We've named her 'SoLo' as she is the only surviving cub, and I'm pretty sure she's female (I've been wrong before so I'm out on a limb with that one as young cubs are tricky). Anyway, she's becoming more […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

The little cub is growing up fast and looking very pretty in the sunshine. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #cub #wildlife #photography

Herring gulls are nesting on a neighbouring roof and every now and then drop down into our garden for a drink (we keep a water bowl topped up for the local wildlife). They then fly out low over our roof giving plenty of opportunities for photos. I've […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Our little fox cub is becoming quite bold and inquisitive. There's just the one cub (at least one other didn't survive), but this one is doing fine and growing up fast. The photo was taken at dusk in fast fading light […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

The little cub is becoming very playful in the garden and loves leaping about among the flower beds. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography #cub #kit #foxcub

Lopa's little fox cub is growing fast and become bolder. Here he (she?) is enjoying the sunshine in the garden yesterday. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #cub #kit #nature #wildlife #photography

As the light was fading this evening (at around 21:30), Lopa appeared in the garden with her cub. They spent quite a while out there with Lopa sitting watching and the cub rushing around chasing insects and practising fox leaps. Then Lopa decided the cub […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Here's a recent photo of Lopa in the evening sun. I love the light at the end of the day and how it brings out colours. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wwildlife #photography

The little fox cub is getting bolder and - while still keeping its distance - pops out every now and then to see what we're getting up to in the garden. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #cub #kit #nature #wildlife #photography

Stripe (the shy male fox) has been more visible lately. He's sleeps adjacent to where Lopa's den is, and we see him trotting through the garden. Here he is with the cub who's adopting a classic submissive pose […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

It is #FoxFriday surely! We found our foxes! Obviously they moved to a different spot on the property this year. It's all thanks to our trail cam. We got videos of a deer, raccoons (regular, not golden, so far), then moved the camera and in the early morning there […] [Original post on zeroes.ca]

He's not the easiest fox to photograph as he is very shy, so I was pleased to get this photo of Stripe, the male fox who seems to be co-parenting Lopa's cub. We've seen him going back and forth quite a lot, and have seen him interacting with the cub […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Here's Lopa's fox cub taken a couple of days ago. We think this is the only surviving cub from a litter of two or three. This one is certainly doing well, and getting bolder day by day. Lopa is still working hard scavenging and hunting food to take back to […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

We're lucky to have a breeding colony of fulmars at our local cliffs in Rottingdean. These wonderful sea birds are petrels and related to the albatross. They resemble gulls, but have stiff wings and tube-noses. They also cackle rather than squawk! Here's a […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

One more photo of the little fox cub. Lopa is taking good care of it. We're still trying to figure out numbers, but think there may now only be one cub. Hard to tell as there have been so few daylight sightings […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

We've seen very little of the fox cubs over the past few days, though Lopa is still busy carrying food back to them so we presume they are ok. It's possible she's moved them to a new location. Here's a photo of the cub from a week or so ago […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

This little fox cub is doing well. We''re not sure about any siblings but Lopa has still got her paws full looking after this one! https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography #cub #kit

This sweet little fox cub is popping his or her head out fairly frequently now. It still stays very close to mum (who is just out of shot) who is very watchful. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #cub #kit #photography #wildlife #nature

Today's photo is the male fox who seems to be very much part of the family group with Lopa and her cubs, frequently resting near the den. He has a noticeable limp on his front left leg from an old injury. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography

Delighted to see Lopa out again today, and this time her cubs were out with her. From what we can see she has three little foxes to look after. Here she is with one of them, but there are more pix on my blog at https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/three-little-fox-cubs/

Lopa's fox cubs are becoming more active. We've had a couple of daytime sightings, including today when I think I spotted two cubs. I can't be sure as they were moving around behind some trees and only one of them put in a clear appearance. So it's a […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Oh my word... we just watched *seven* red kites fly over our garden. That's easily the most in one sighting. We're just on the outskirts of #Brighton and red kites have slowly been arriving. They're plentiful further north in Sussex and to the west […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

The beautiful sunshine drew me to #Brighton race course this afternoon. The course runs through public land so it's easy to get a decent vantage point for photos (as long as you don't mind not being anywhere near the finishing line). I mainly used a slow […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Lopa is keeping her cub (or cubs?) nearby, but apart from that fleeting glimpse a few days ago we've seen nothing of them. Lopa is around a fair bit though, and at night we can hear the young foxes. Here's Lopa rooting around for grubs in the garden […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

We had a real treat this afternoon when Lopa briefly emerged with a cub in tow. The cub was only visible for a few seconds before it disappeared behind the fencing, but it was lovely to see. I've made a brief blog entry with two photos at […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

One more photo of the lovely Lopa looking very relaxed in the sunshine a few days ago. She's still working hard taking food back to her young - and no, we've not had any sight of them as yet. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography

To ring the changes a little, today's photo is a black and white portrait of Lopa. https://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #nature #wildlife #photography #blackandwhite
