I was out scouting a location for a wedding and heard a little rustling in the nearby bushes. So I slowly looked and there was this critter trying to figure out what I was doing. Of course I had an ultra wide lens on the body. So I slowly changed lenses and turned to take his picture. He was only 7-8 meters away.

Turns out there were 6 foxes and they didn't worry about me one bit. Safety in numbers I guess. They came very close a few times and I've never seen them like this before. Never this close up. Sharp looking teeth, Almost more like a cat in some ways.


I got 31 'keepers' and this one's my favourite. I just love the expression.

Returning to the road and the car, there were 2 more play fighting right in the middle of the road. I couldn't get close enough to get a good shot and this ones heavily cropped just to share the fun. There's a few more further down on page one of the thread.

Thanks Jim. I'm happy, I've been chasing these guys for years without any luck.

Probably once in a lifetime. I will go back there this weekend and just se if they are around again.

Fantastic Peter!

Thanks for looking and commenting.
