Arctic fox male with catch

I think this adds to the great image Krijn posted two days ago. Here is the adult male bringing the eiderhead and a gosling at once to feed the 9 furballs that were running around. As Krijn said...those three days were the ice on the cake of two wonderful weeks.

Showoff!!!

As you can understand I am very very jealous of this shot, I think next to the adult yawning your best shot of the foxtrip, wish it was mine!
Have you got your new monitor yet?? Hope we can find something to shoot around here soon, my hands are beginning to itch

See you soon budy

Wonderful shot, I love the way you caught the motion, with the head very sharp. Good job!

A great action photo, Jasper! I like the way you caught it with all feet off the ground.

Excellent shot, Jasper! It's got all the ingredients, and they're well put together.
