The only native Fox species in the UK can be split in to two types, Urban and Rural.

Whereas Urban Foxes have learnt to live with humans, frequenting dust bins for food scraps and brazenly ignoring people, the rural fox is still very wary, avoiding human contact where possible probably as a legacy of hunting.

When we had a  rural Fox visit our garden water trough earlier this year I had high hopes of making it a photographic project. Sadly it was not to be. Evidence suggested the Vixen was carrying cubs and she duly gave birth but sadly we never saw them. Both mother and cubs were shot dead after several raids on a neighbouring farmer's hen houses. I don't blame him, he has a living to protect but it's a shame it ended up like that.
