Mother fox and fox kit love 2

Foxes yawn. So do we. So what? And yet, yawning is quite luxury thing. Being scared, cold or thirsty isn’t a good starting point for a decent yawn. Yawning basically requires a really safe environment and a full stomach, to begin with. Like most animals, foxes prefer being lazy and […]

Foxes don’t seem to swim an awful lot, but suspiciously often I see them standing along the waterfront. So the question is….what are they doing there? Of course they might just be thirsty and by lack of a tap,they use channels, lakes or ditches to satisfy their needs. And on […]

Past year I spent a rather short, but quite intense period, watching three fox kits growing up. At least..that’s what I aimed at. I was so happy when I found them and -as you can imagine-I pictured these beautiful endless summer evenings with cute furry fox kits play-fighting in nice […]

Although foxes do have a bad image of being these naughty, ferocious animals, I have never, ever seen them show the slightest sign of aggression towards a human being. I have, however, seen some violent behaviour towards other foxes, but only for the very obvious reasons. Naturally, a fox will […]

Grooming Fox - Mother and Kit 4
Foxes have been notorious for decades, consistently put down as a symbol of trickery and deceit. Many of us are raised with fairy tales about this so called sly and ferocious animal and it payed off:  Even I was made to believe that foxes are scary and dangerous creatures. For […]

Thinking about nature photography you probably picture fresh green meadows, meandering rivers, foggy forests or something like that. At least I did.
