The dog Fox made his visit earlier this evening and I just caught sight of him from the kitchen window.
By the time I got the camera and opened the back door he was on his way down to the garden steps, I just got him in the viewfinder at the top of the steps, a bit too close really.
Having taken his photo he trotted down and spent a few minutes by my side in the back yard, before trotting off out of the side gate. :)

What an experience that was I bet Roger :)

It really is Adam, it's the third time he's spent a bit of time in the garden with me and it makes up for all I've been missing, every time. :)
 
Lovely Roger, wonderful to see him so up close. So much character in that face :)
 
He got closer!

Spent a nice few minutes close to him in the back yard ... too close for 200mm :(

That's a nice problem to have! :D

Hadn't seen a Fox for years until this last week - I've been watching a local den recently thanks to a tip off from a dog walker and I've got the opposite problem - they're 60+ metres away across private land, but still fascinating to watch

Let's hope you can get some good opportunities :)
 
Brilliant,Roger. They seem to have no fear of of people..or very little. Different for its rural cousins,I suspect.

Thanks John, yes a little caution but no fear, I suspect you are right about the contrast between urban and rural foxes.
SWMBO was sitting on the back step last evening for a cooling read and was suddenly aware of the fox right beside of her ... fortunately I had warned her in advance of the possibility and she didn't do anything to scare it. :)
