Baby fox

Hi Josh,

Great pictures, you will certainly never forget the experience of being so close, they are gorgeous but when you have foxes around you have to be so careful with your tortoises and other animals as they are easy prey for them as food.

I was distracting it so i could see if it had any injuries, as fox's out in the day usually are injured.
Camera's do have a zoom function but not a x-ray vision function

Not making you out to be anything! People can make up their own minds.

You said you were keeping an eye out for mum - you don't need to get your scent on it for that.

You have x-ray vision? Wow! *ahem* You can check for injuries with the zoom, is what I meant - you getting up close to it doesn't let you x-ray it! You can see from a distance if they are injured and even if they are you should leave them alone - it's too old for you to pick it up and hand rear it, you should call in expert help if it's hurt or abandoned.

... it was in thick bush and the other side was brick.
thats what i meant by not having x-ray vision.
I dident touch the fox.
if you look you will see my hand is just above the fox.

Wildlife is just that wild, and in 99.9% of cases doesn't need any interfernce from us, and is best left alone completely.
