Finally caught up with the vixen seen by Cath and Ant recently. She was trotting along close to the reserve centre and
didn't hang around for long - just long enough for me to get a couple of shots.
Oooh nice ! So natural

I'm impressed that you can tell it's a vixen! - does the hairstyle give it away?
Good question John! No, I can't tell them apart but someone down the Wetlands centre said were two foxes 'loitering' - a light coloured vixen and a darker, mangy looking male - I did manage to see both but couldn't get near the dog fox.
Now Dai you missed a trick there ... you should have said, it's clear from the tail length or the slightly different fur colour! ;o)

Damn! You're right Ant - will have to remember that for the next time!! :-)

Nice Shot Dai, And everyone knows that the dog fox's ears are 1mm longer than the vixen's ;)

Definitely a female as you tell by the markings on her left whiskers ...
I just realised looking down this thread I have forgotten to say Stonking Shot Dai!
