Can you believe that all this was within walking distance of where Pete used to live, a short walk from Mumbles to Caswell Bay....

And he buggered off to a very brown Spain 🙂

Not very high Pete, they're too small otherwise, that's the trouble they're damned fast and hard to pan with when close enough to get a decent shot, at a guess maybe 40-50ft

Still great detail for that height though.

OK not a photograph but a short video

Vicky Vixen has been visiting for nearly three years, finally she brought some cubs in, but four is quite an achievement, I suspected three but didn't have evidence of it so put a second camera out to get a better view down the bank These are rural Foxes, very different to the urban Foxes that are accustom to humans, can't get anywhere near these, no matter how quiet I am, they can hear a heart beat at a fair distance

She's got her work cut out looking after 4.
