My OperaFinally, a fox

I was beginning to wonder how this week would go. I was outside watching the newts and seeing if I could spot the one in yesterday's photo. I think she's pregnant, judging by her abdomen which is somewhat rounded.
I'd just taken a couple of shots, including the one above, when who should show up but the dog fox. He's not due for his fourth dose of ivermectin until the weekend, but I was beginning to wonder where he'd got to.
It's difficult to judge how he's getting on. The mange treatment hasn't been as regular as it should be, which means there's a risk of re-infestation. Mind you, he hasn't been scratching at all while he's been around, so that's a good sign. And the bare skin is darkening which may be the start of hair growth. Another good sign. On the other hand the upper part of his tail looks slightly the worse for wear. His face is still clear.
So to the photos...
Signs of hair growth?
His face is fine
Not so fine at the other end though
But always the fox...
