Fantastic Mr Fox

OK… not a lot of activity here for almost exactly a year. No excuses. Although, to be fair, I did spend a chunk of 2009 working in Mumbai… and a most of the rest of the time running around like a proverbial blue-arsed fly…

We had an unexpected visitor earlier today. I had returned home after a trip into town to do some shopping, only to find this fox cub sunning himself in the corner of the car park. He had found a cozy sun trap, out of the wind and with a couple of clear and unobstructed exits if he needed to make a dash for freedom. From a distance he had the size of an adult fox, but through the camera zoom it quickly became apparent that he was adolescent, perhaps no more than a year old.
