Fox is becoming more used to me. I can go in our small South London back yard when he is there now, and he does not immediately escape over the fence. Could have something to do with the way I have been feeding him!

Great wildlife capture John, so sharp and well lit.
John Hooton replied
Thank you Paul. It is a bit heavily cropped so it won’t be making any posters, but I liked the composition like this.

Great capture. Hunting mood is shown very well
John Hooton replied
Thank you Loiteke. I would rather see a fox hunting than being hunted. Thank goodness that barbaric practice has now stopped. :-))
