Tales of a South Downs fox... and other ramblings

Camera avoidance

Wednesday, 16. September 2009, 23:17:56

,

Some days, they just don't want to be photographed...

Somewhere in here is a rabbit. At least it is visible. A couple of weeks ago the crop was tall enough to hide deer.


And this believe it or not is one of the shy foxes. They are all over the trail cam, but have seemingly magical powers in camera avoidance.


And that was it for the day. One of the quieter ones. I may have better luck tomorrow, who knows.

Camera note: the first shot was taken with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. The fox was 'photographed' with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens.

I can spot a rabbit but fox is completely out of my sight :D

I see the fox p:

Cannot say I'll be sorry to see the vegetation die back a bit.

Well, if fox turned into a flower, then I see it too :irked: P:

Foxes are full of surprises but turning from fauna to flora is beyond even them p: Try adjusting your expectations of what you typically see when you catch a glimpse of a wild canid :wink:

Darko, look again. The fox is clearly visible :wink: Just think... which bit of a fox are you most likely to see?

Adele, I think this is the male of the pair that keep visiting. It's not bold, nor the "cub" (possibly another vixen?). It actually stood and posed like that for about 15 seconds which is massive progress.

I should change my glasses, I still can`t see it :faint:

Adele 17. September 2009, 21:47

I had several similar fox sightings to this tonight while going on a drive around the local lanes :whistle:
