A beautiful Fox Cub 🦊🦊🦊 It may not be the best fox cub shot ever, but I think this was my favourite wildlife moment to date. We locked eyes, I pulled my camera up and snapped this shot, and then it disappeared back into the den. The whole interaction couldn't have been more than 2 seconds, but it was one of those amazing moments that make wildlife photography so special 😊 Story time: This may not be the best fox kit shot you will ever see, but please note that there was no baiting or calls or anything used to get this shot. My wife's sister had seen some foxes while out on a walk, she told me, and so my father in law drove me out to where they were seen and we walked about to see if we could find any, to get a shot. We saw a female fox staring at us from the bushes, but she disappeared once we noticed her. We followed around to see if we could see her again but no luck. As we crested a small hill, my father in law pointed and said look, and there was this little guy outside a den (we didnt know the den was there, if we did, we would have taken more care so as not to cause a disturbance). I met his eyes, raised the camera and snapped this shot, he then disappeared back into the den and we immediately left the vicinity so not to cause any discomfort. Image Taken: May 2024.
