Just read that we can have three so here's Cheeky Paws, he's our resident neghbourhood fox who just sleeps in the gardens out back bold as brass. He's just not bothered... and he's so amazingly adorable and cute and in this photo he has an itty bitty bit of his tongue hanging out like he's blowing a Raspberry :D

Haven't seen him for a couple of days sadly but I hope he comes back at some point as I love seeing him... really cheers up the days I'm feeling down!

For a number of weeks I was aware of a perky field mouse in the garden but then a neighbours cat did it's job and had her. Presumably hunger prompted these two survivors to launch themselves prematurely into the big wide world. Not quite weaned, at first my wife hand-fed them every four hours on a mix of soya milk and honey. They now live in a more natural environment.

It's amazing how foxes seem to have adapted. It's very rare for us to see a fox and if we do it runs a mile. Yet your city fox seems totally at ease with people, quite incredible. :mrgreen:

One more from me. I tried to do that misty water effect by having a really slow shutter speed and nearly made it :wink:

I know, I lived in the countryside for 36 years and I have seen more foxes since moving to London 3 years ago than I ever did in Cheshire!!

We see around 4 or 5 every night running up and down the road, one of them stops outside our house, sits in the road and stares at me with his head cocked to one side... probably because I always say hello to them as they pass :D It's so funny they sort of look at you, look around as if to see if there's anyone else we're talking to and then stare back at you like they're thinking "okay... this is a bit weird, she's talking to ME"

They were both taken in Richmond Park in June/ July this year.

It's going to be a difficult one to call as there are some truly outstanding photos amongst this lot.
