It is bitterly cold again this afternoon, with a chill wind that cuts through you. I was doing the washing up, and I noticed something russet on the wall in the middle of the leaves.
The fox was asleep.
I took a photo, as you might expect me to do.
Half Hidden Fox
She stirred, the greenery moved, and I wondered if she were about to sit up. But no, she was settling herself down more snugly in her bed, and seconds later she was completely hidden.
Hidden Fox
Last night the foxes were noisy again. It’s the mating season, and it sounds like the spring is going to be full of fox cubs.
How lucky you are to share these moments with these wild creatures
I know!!
Isn’t it amazing?
I would never leave these guys…they are so fascinating.
It’s so interesting to see foxes so at home in the city…..that one (as suggested on another post) must be using the warmth of the wall and of course the tangle of vines to stay cozy even on the coldest of days. Amazing. Well captured photos too Isobel!!

And I guess it is high enough for them to feel safe. They build their den in the vines too.
It’s going to be even more interesting in the Spring.
I love seeing the cubs welcome their parents home when they are just old enough to leave the den. Their ears flatten, their tails wag. BUt I have never caught it on camera. Maybe this year…
