Crcking image Oscar, love the low POV and the brush tip in the photo and the detail is incredible. It has perfect white teeth so I assume it is a young animal, either that or it flosses daily! :biggrin:

Hi Oscar, good detail where it counts, what caused the ears to be swept back, was it threatened? Is it the tail that is OOF in the FG?

Glad you enjoyed the evening, it's a good hoot in an excellent location, and great fun. :smile:

Thanks for the comments.

Phil stop trying to tempt me! :biggrin:

Steve I'm not expert on fox behaviour, but there was another fox present, which I assumed to be its parent. The young one was rolling around on the floor making yelping noises.

Yeah it was fantastic! It's really made me determined to get back there one year

Cracking shot Oscar. I'm no fox expert either, but its submissive behaviour toward the other fox. By the boldness of this one, its probably a young 'un. If you could get it to trust you (a bit of raw pork would be good!), I'm sure you'll have a great friendship. :toast: :toast: :toast:
