Fox day

May 20, 2013 by fred 2 Comments

Sometimes you have really successful days…Yesterday was one of those. It was a fox day!
For the first time in a year, I went to my hare paradise. I saw very few hares. I think that all the rain we had last year’s killed a lot of them. I did not see any of my old friends…I am really sad about this. They were no hares but they was a fox and what a fox. I stayed with that vixen for more than half an hours. At the moment the meadow is a dandelion sea . It was incredible. I took the pictures with the 500mm and the 2 time converter. (I like that new 2 time converter).

In the evening, I went to another fox den to see if they were any cubs.

Sometime, things do not work the way you want them to go. I was on a recce and was spotted by this clever vixen. I have been spying that vixen for weeks…but this time she was sharper then I was….I will have to be better next time…

Saturday night was a difficult evening! The heat in my kitchen was unbearable. I must have lost 5kg of water…
Sunday evening was much better. I went to watch one of “my” fox den. I been there several time before but did not see anything.
Well last night I was lucky. Two fox cub came out of their den. It is always nice to watch fox cub at play. Unfortunately, this den is in the middle of a field. There is no covert in his vicinity. I had to use my 500mm and the 1.4 to get any picture.
The cubs were not afraid of the sheep at all. It was magical to watch.
