There’s snow business like fox business…

Almost a year ago I found myself a voyuer at midday for around half an hour as our resident fox pair enjoyed the Quickening. Further research suggests they had actually gotten themselves stuck. Bless.

Today I'm trying to knuckle down and do some book-keeping when I hear Crow carking and sounding a bit enraged. I look outside and see both foxes flirting and chasing each other across the snow. The pair of crows are flitting about keeping a close eye on proceedings and the foxies are looking up watching them.

My camera woke up just in time to catch a few shots of a brief bit of kit making in almost exactly the same place they did it last year.

It's a Full Moon tonight and there's definitely magic in the air...

    You were faster to your camera than me. I just glimpsed a fox running across the snow in our garden this morning, then it was gone.

    Great photos!
