Back in the day…

| July 5, 2011

You may remember that when you last saw the cubs, they were little and really more bear-like than fox-like. These days they are really more lanky teenage foxes than round fluffy fox cubs, but here, cast your mind back a couple of months to early May… this is what they looked like then.

Mrs Fox poses

| May 26, 2011

Cute (or deranged) though the cubs are in this set of pictures — from April 30th — I think my favourite is the shot of Mrs Fox, the last of the set. She’d come up to lie in the grass (… and the weeds, yes, okay…) near the edge of the patio, which meant she […]

Of tongues and magpies

True colours

I’ve heard of flying foxes, but….

And more cute

| May 20, 2011

I shall spoil you, I tell you. More photos here, this time from April 24th. (The cubs are bigger now, but still just as cute, and I will be uploading a whole bunch more photos…)

When they were smaller…

Start your weekend with a dose of cute! Here are some photos of the cubs from just short of a month ago – April 23rd.

And finally…

… for today, at least; have some lovely HD video of wrestling fox-cubs. Short but sweet!
