Our neighbour gets quite a few foxes in her back garden, so I went around there this evening to try and photograph them.
She has a motion-sensor security light in the back garden, so I had to wait for the foxes to come close enough to the house to trigger the light to come on. It's a very bright one, (gives the illusion of near-daylight in the photos) but for some reason the camera didn't like it (or the most likely explanation is I had it on the wrong settings) so most of the ones I took came out blurry... these were the best two.
It's interesting seeing how cat-like their eyes are- and this is a very healthy looking urban fox! It's not the same vixen as the one who visits our garden- this one is more mature-looking and filled out. She seems to be scent marking while keeping a close watch on the house in the second photo.

They must be about all the time around here but I seldom hear them and see them even less.
Well, maybe if there's something interesting on the trail cam.
