Fox Kits

Today I learned from a friend that the fox den we photographed last year is again occupied. Interestingly there appears to be two different litters.

Both days I saw a good number of animals, but the majority of them were too far away for any worthwhile images. Though today there were two nannies and their kids reasonably close. With reports of wolves [...]
