The last remnants of the snow are disappearing from the garden. Here are a few more recent shots picked up on the trail cam. The fox is the elusive vixen.

Trail Cam Update - Foxes on Ice

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 10:56:52 PM

During the current cold snap I've largely been relying on the trail cam to pick up on the activities of the garden foxes. This evening I took a look at what it had captured since the weekend... many blurred or hazy shots as it struggled with the frost, and one lengthy period when snow had adhered to the entire front of the unit. But there were some decent frames hidden in there, including some good shots of the (very shy) vixen, so she becomes the featured fox in this post.

Sunday evening:


Tuesday evening:




Early hours of Wednesday morning (this is the one frame here of Shutterbug).


And then to make my day a couple of shots of the vixen again, in daylight and in colour. These were caught late this morning.




The thaw has more or less ground to a halt, and the snow has frozen into a hard icy crust. There are pockets of black ice which can make some local streets hazardous. There's still a decent covering of snow/ice in the garden. which I expect to last until the weekend. For a small snow fall, this one has hung around a long time.

Another Fox Special

Friday, February 3, 2012 11:15:30 PM

These shots are from late last night (early hours of Friday morning). I looked outside and a pair of eyes were sparkling from the far end of the garden. With the foxes two things will happen. If it's the vixen she'll be gone before I can even think about getting the camera. If it's Shutterbug there's a good chance he'll stay around. It was Shutterbug.


He's not bothered by the cold snap, but then he is an exceedingly well-dressed fox.


And doesn't he know it!




He checked out the corners of the garden...


The he was on his way... taking a quick short-cut to the exit.

I've Been Waiting All Year to Say This - Fox Photo Special

Friday, January 20, 2012 10:57:23 PM

Ok, the wait has been a little under three weeks if we count from the start of the year, and the trail cam has been covering the gaps; but last night was the first face to face fox encounter of the year, and typically the face belonged to Shutterbug.












A decent, if slightly late, start to this year's fox watching. I'm happy! smile

Trail Cam Foxes and a few bits and pieces...

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 11:35:32 PM

, , ,

The winter mists and rain have returned with a vengeance, bringing a rapid halt to golden sunrises. Instead I've been sorting through some recent trail cam images and came across this sequence among the frames from last night. I'd heard plenty of calling earlier in the evening, and these are the likely source. I may not be getting any direct sightings, but it's always good to see pairs of foxes at this time of year. smile






As for today I was forced to revert to playing around with motion-blurred birds over the pond. Most of the attempts get deleted fairly quickly, but I was plesed with these two. The first is a black-headed gull.


The second is one of the smaller female ducks.


The final shot is a re-edit of a couple I featured yesterday. Sami mentioned in the comments that they would work well as a vertical composite, so I gave it a go. I like! Click on the image for a large version.
