Three Fox Night
Wednesday, 23. July 2008, 21:18:19
It's not often I get to see all three of the local foxes in one day, but last night was one of those rare occasions. The first visitor was the old dog fox, who came by, scratched a bit but didn't hang around for long.

Next to show up was the bold vixen, looking as charming as ever and happy to pose for the camera.

She wasn't alone for long though. Unexpectedly, the nicked-ear vixen emerged from the border on the left. The bold vixen immediately became anxious. She's at the bottom left of this next photo.
Two vixens
Here's a better shot of the pair of them. Note how both of them have their tails curled in a somewhat submissive posture.
As for general dominance, I think the laurels have to go to nicked-ear. Here she is closing in on the bold vixen's favourite spot.
Nicked-ear vixen
Which sent the bold vixen scurrying down to where we were for a bit of security in numbers!
A more complete sequence from last night is towards the end of the July Fox Gallery, but I'll close this entry with one last looked at nicked-ear.
On the high ground
Camera note: all shots taken with the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.
