As you might have noticed I have this thing for foxes, especially for foxes in the snow… And now National geographic seem to like my fox in the snow as well, how cool is that?! My photo was chosen by the National Geographic jury as one of the nominees in […]

Whether I stumble upon a vixen in the rain, a couple of soaking wet fox kits, a drinking red fox, a raindrop covered coat, a fox wading through a river or a swimming fox crossing a pond….I just can’t get enough… I Love water, I adore foxes. So what could […]

Just like you won’t understand a word, visiting a foreign country for the first time, it will take quite some time to master fox language. But the longer your stay in Fox Nation, the more you will understand their conversations. Of course you will never learn to speak flawless Fox, […]

Grooming Fox - Mother and Kit 4

In Dutch Waxwings are called Pestvogels, which means something like ‘Nagging Birds’. I often wondered why they got this strange name. Well…I found out the hard way! Waxwing invade my country every now and then. They appear in large numbers and -being just a little shy- they make a great […]
