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.
