Fox Cubs 2005

In this gallery we have some local fox cubs from 2005.

Initially the cubs were probably about 4-5 weeks old. They could not have chosen a worse place to live, choosing a field that was used by the local Clay Pigeon Shooting Club. If you look closely in many of the images you will see discarded shotgun cartridges.

I believe only one of the four cubs made it to maturity. It's a tough world out there.

I had 2 foxes in the field behind my house. They had 3 babies and all are going strong6 months later! I think the mum and dad have gone off and now left the young ones. They appear every night about 6 to 6.30. To watch them is fantastic and now even my dog takes up his position at the window every evening to watch them. They are now very much part of our life!

Hope to see cubs as beautiful as yours in my garden this year.
Guest 05-Jun-2006 01:08
tremendous work...

are they the sweetest creatures ever or what!

totally love them.

wish i had a garden, and the kind which foxes would visit and perhaps settle down in and raise a family.

keep up the superb effort.

Beautiful pictures. If they're in a safe location maybe leaving small amounts of food will tempt them out into the open.
Harmony Fox 15-May-2005 10:20

Happy Mother's Day to Mama Fox...and a huge applause to you, Ian, for the patience it took to get these remarkable photos. What a joy to see. I would love to have been there, but you have brought them to us so beautifully! Thanks, Ian

They are just adorable! So Cute! Great Shots!
Gail Davison 02-May-2005 11:46
Wonderful gallery Ian. I once visited a fox rescue centre that had rescued three cubs that had lost their mother. Because they were so small we were allowed to handle them and they jumped around our feet and chewed our shoe laces. They were having to hand rear them but hoped to be able to encourage another fox at the centre to bring them up so that they could be released back into the wild. Wonderful experience.
Marijka 02-May-2005 03:07
almost caught a shot myself, today -- but bad time for me, my battery died --- i see the fox really liked your lens!! nice job!!

They are adorable! I remember about 10 years ago we had some fox cubs in our garden; they discovered a plank of wood which was acting as a see-saw and played on it for ages! I wasn’t into photography in those days and now we have dogs who keep the foxes away :(
Art Jansen 30-Apr-2005 12:54
I agree with the comment below. They're cute, sure. But the photos are amateur.
Guest 30-Apr-2005 12:51
"Cute" photos taken in very poor lighting with not a lot of imagination or expertise.
Dave Reed 30-Apr-2005 08:15
Fine pictures,well photographed,will keep looking with interest
Rick Ohnsman 30-Apr-2005 05:04
Great shots. For-What-it's-worth - baby foxes are called "kits", not cubs. Lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) have cubs, foxes have Kits. (not to be confused with kittens).
Peter Chou 30-Apr-2005 02:35
Wonderful wildlife photography! Really adorable little things!
Sabine Stetson 29-Apr-2005 18:29

Christina Craft 28-Apr-2005 18:50
Oh my gosh! This is fantastic. I'm going to watch this gallery with interest. What beautiful creatures - wonderful to capture them in this documentary approach.
Linda Alstead 28-Apr-2005 18:40
wonderful - no other words for it!
Fran Purdy LRPS 28-Apr-2005 18:03
Oh wow - they're gorgeous!! (though I wouldn't have said that at this time last year when a fox got the rabbit I was looking after for a friend...).
Sheena Woodhead 27-Apr-2005 21:52
So gorgeous, a wonderful gallery - don't think I've seen photographs of fox cubs so young before.

Jane 27-Apr-2005 16:08
They are so cute!
We have a neighbourhood fox who 'takes' the squirrels from under our bird feeders,
she is probably taking them home to her cubs for dinner.
Great pictures! Thanks for posting them.
