The World Cup must have been on…

| July 27, 2010

Yes, we really ARE over a month behind with the photo posts. Don’t even ask about Foxcam. I think the number of photos I can get is likely to start going down a bit; we’re not seeing the cubs quite as often and the evenings are of course getting a little shorter. I imagine the […]

An intimate dinner for two

| July 24, 2010

A couple of evenings ago I put out the food for the foxes as usual, although the mix was slightly different; peanuts and cheese, as usual, but also a half-pack of crispy bacon that had gone past its best-before date. I had forgotten just how much Lardy Cat likes crispy bacon. Enough, it transpires, to […]

Profile of a fox

| July 22, 2010

Just a quick post for you this evening – some photos from June 11th when one of the cubs wanted his or her full share of the limelight… Click on any photo to see a larger version, you know the drill by now.

Study of a fox

| July 15, 2010

Today’s photos are from June 9th. Then, as most usually today, one of the cubs was the first one out to check out the food that I’d left out; it’s not always the same cub, mind you. I think they have some kind of rota system organised from behind the bushes; I wonder if they’re […]

On a summer’s evening

| July 14, 2010

A few more photos from the archives for you, today; these are from June 3rd. It was a lovely evening here at Fox Towers, and the vulpine members of the community certainly seemed to be making the most of it.

From a month or so back…

| July 12, 2010

Okay, a little over a month; these photos are from 2nd June, so at the point where the cubs’ fur had stopped being quite so fluffy and had smoothed out a bit, but before they really got to being the lanky teenage foxes that we see at the moment. More photo posts to come over […]

Contemplation

| June 27, 2010

Points to take away from these photos (from June 8th): I do wonder how noisy some of these cub wrestling matches/play fights are… I’m always behind the window so I don’t really hear them; Mrs Fox is still happy to let the cubs use her as a pillow occasionally; Foxes seem to flop down flat […]

Fierce cub!

| June 24, 2010

I have, today, a FIERCE fox cub for you — at least in the first of these pictures. I’m not sure what he was being fierce at, but it’s a fair bet it was one of his siblings… or possibly the grass… or something that existed only in his imagination! Also in this set: more […]

A tale of a tail

| June 23, 2010

As the fox cubs have grown up, I’ve started to notice black marks on their tails, about a quarter to a third of the way down from the root of the tail. At first I wondered if they’d rubbed against something dirty, but then when I saw that all the cubs had it, I wondered […]

An evening in the sun

| June 18, 2010

The evening of 24th May was sunny at Fox Towers, and the foxes themselves were making the most of it. There was the usual complement of rolling around and gnawing on one another (from the cubs) and watching with faint bemusement (the vixen). Mrs Fox also made another attempt on the world record for How […]
