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

The Bold Vixen has Given Birth

Saturday, March 13, 2010 12:56:13 AM

Just a couple of quick shots from tonight. The first in about a week of the Bold Vixen. And the good news is that she has given birth. I'm surprised to see her out quite so soon, but it may mean her den is nearby. I hope so smile Tracking back over trail cam footage I am confident she gave birth on the night of 8/9 March (the only night no foxes appeared in the garden). Anyway, here's a couple of photos of the proud (and hungry) mum.

That is wonderful news! Since she's close, you'll be able to watch her and hopefully have some cub photos to post soon.

Lovely shots. She is so photogenic. Hope you see some Kits soon. If she is close enough, I'm sure she'll grace you with a family visit. She knows she gets love and care from that garden!

Thanks everyone. It was really good to see her out so soon, if something of a surprise. It will be a little while before we get to see any cubs even if they are close by. I'll keep watching and listening though wink
