More Fox in the Garden
One very Agile Fox
I watched on the CCTV how this Fox would jump up onto the top of the 4″ post to get at the food put up there for the Buzzards, when he started coming in earlier and earlier, i set up the camera with a 50mm lens low down in the grass in front of the post .
The Late sun coming in lit up the fox but kept the background dark.
Earlier He had come in for a road kill squirrel, beating the Buzzards to their dinner !
