One of the young foxes was hunting a vole just when I happened to be looking out of the
French windows with my camera nearby. The glass, though clean, has softened the images somewhat, but we get an idea of the energy and excitement of the hunt. Clicking on any of the images takes you to the full gallery of foxes and other animals.
Here he’s spotted his prey:
*For those who are concerned, foxes don’t play with their prey when it’s live, like cats. So the vole is already dead when we see the play.
It must have been fun to see this unfold. I really like you “About to pounce. Bad news for the vole.”
It certainly was, Marke. We are having a daily show of their antics at the moment. They were playing with a ball of Joni’s yesterday evening, seven of them just going crazy.
Looks like it was well trained !!!
Nice catch Steven (for you and the fox)
Thanks, Jim!
Great shots, Steve. You’ve caught the rapture in the capture perfectly.
Thank you, Janet!
It’s easy to spend too much time watching them
Amazing photos
Thank you, Linda!
