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 […]

Yawning Tree frog
I bet most fellow nature photographers assumed – just like I did- tree frogs to be hugely enterprising, energetic and cheerful creatures. Skilfully hopping from blackberry to blackberry, climbing in trees like professional circus artists, swinging on stalks, as if they were climbing frames and sliding along thick blades like […]

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 […]

24. Fox Reflections: What does the Fox See?


1
Nature works in mysterious ways. Not so long ago, I assumed there were just two options: 1. Eaten or 2. Being eaten Predator or prey…that’s the question. Recently I found out that it can be mutual as well. You eat, while being eaten: fair cross. All right, I might exaggerate […]

I love to photograph in my own neighbourhood. Just biking around,the wind in my hair and my bag on my carrier. No train-delay,caused by so called square wheels, cows on the rails or similar excuses. Unfortunately exciting nature is sparse around here. But with a little fantasy and lots of […]

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 […]

Laatst betrapte ik mezelf erop dat het volgende zinnetje uit m’n toetsenbord rolde: “Te zien aan het ontbreken van de geelwitte ‘haken’ op de handpennen, lijkt dit een juveniele vogel te zijn. En de staart met brede eindband lijkt die van een mannelijke vogel… Waarschijnlijk dus een eerstejaars man” WTF?!  […]

Het idee van een blog als dit is dat je terugblikt…. En al terugblikkend viel me iets op dat ik eigenlijk al wist, maar niet dat het zó ernstig was: Wat heb ík weinig geblogd het afgelopen jaar! Terwijl ik op woordjesgebied toch niet bepaald in crisis vekeer… Dit blog […]

Lieve 7D, Jij en ik….. ‘t Was spannend en tegelijkertijd wat stroefjes vanaf het allereerste begin. Aanvankelijk dacht ik dat het aan mij lag, dat ik simpelweg teveel van je vroeg. Ik ken mezelf en mijn reputatie ‘veeleisend’ te zijn. Maar gaandeweg ontdekte ik dat jij qua lastigheid toch echt […]

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 […]
