Birthday Cub
Today i am another year older (and feel it) and about to go out for a meal, At 6pm i said to my better half that i needed to go and feed the cubs 5mins away, I sneaked the camera out and was told to be back in an hour-well i struck lucky as 10 mins after getting in position a cub came out and had a snack and then sat down and had a look around-10mins later i was on my way back

Canon 1D3 500F4 1/125@F5.6

you were given an hour and you were back in 10 mins? I normally do the opposite :biggrin:

A lovely shot. I'm also enjoying this series.

Happy (belated) Birthday!! :biggrin: (It was my birthday yesterday too, how weird is that!!)

Your fox series is really great! It's wonderful to see them develop, they really are starting to look like foxes now, rather than teddy bears!!!

Can't wait to see some more! Great shot!
