I was getting worried as I hadn't seen any this year, but I just looked out the window and lo!

The mother's keeping an eye on next door's dog while the cubs frolic about and play fight <smiley>

PS sorry about the quality:
cheap camera + talentless photographer + ruthless compression = <frowny>

Thank you and you're welcome

I spent an hour or so this evening (after I'd already posted them) trying to tart one of the pics up a bit in Gimp but I really haven't a clue what I'm doing

I had to use the camera's digital zoom to get a half-decent shot of the cubs so I was just turd polishing, but I can see how easy it would be to spend ages tweaking - every little edit seems to make it better and better then suddenly you've gone too far!

I'm determined to restore my grandparents' wedding photos sometime soon so I guess I should buy some decent equipment / software and get some practice in.

There was a baby dunnock hopping about in the middle of our garden yesterday flapping its wings about and constantly chirping, I was expecting a sparrowhawk or cat to jump on it any second. It wasnt being very discreet.

Yay for cubs!

Beautiful.

Well it won't be long before someone shoots them...

I find foxes to be lovely to look at, but they are a complete and utter pest.

Humans are the biggest pest on the planet.

I know they're considered vermin in the country, but here they're a refreshing slice of wildlife amid the car fumes and concrete. I loves em

Nobody shoots foxes round here. They're too busy shooting each other
