Green Eyes
The cubs are starting to get confident and the ranks are being sorted,I put down food every evening for the parents but was suprised to see the cubs feeding there so now i put down puppy food there and put the other food out of reach, If i throw some food into the bushes near the earth within a couple of minutes the grass goes mad as they have a scrap for it then they come to the feeding area so i tend to be in and out within a hour-perfect, Just need to make a more photogenic stage

Nice one Dave. Foxes are such cute things at that age. Unfortunately around here most farmers don't agree and finding a workable earth (not in deep cover, usually blackthorn) is difficult.
Nice diffused background that gives sufficient 'pop' to the cub.

Nicely caught Dave. As you say, an improvement to the 'stage' will help.

They look very vulnerable, I guess that's their appeal.
Look forward to more.
