My OperaTrail Cam Foxes and a few bits and pieces...

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. 
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.
Camera note: the two motion-blur shots were taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. The trail cam images are from the Bushnell Trophy Cam. For the composite see yesterday's post.
