Fox Cubs in Daylight

Here's some colour footage of the cubs to go with the earlier black and white. This is all from between about 6.15 and 6.30 p.m. on May 14th. Looks like the vixen has quite a handful with these four:


I went down again on Tuesday evening, and waited hidden behind some bushes about thirty yards away, downwind from the den, hoping to witness some action. After three hours in the cold and wind, not a glimpse. Must have been my smelly socks that kept them safely underground!

  1. Great video, they do seem to be quite a handful.

  2. A handful indeed! Great footage. I wonder if the smallest is holding his/her own: he/she seemed (I think) to be the one who was keenest to jump back into the den.

  5. I would imagine the bit about 'cold' and 'wind' could have something to do with them not turning up as well ;). Lovely video again.

  6. Some good clips Jeremy which I enjoyed watching. What trail camera do you use.

  7. Hi Ron, Thanks for your comment. I've been using a KeepGuard KG-680V trail camera since last summer, but yesterday I took delivery of a Ltl Acorn 6210MC 940NM camera. I did a search on it, and came across your excellent site which I've found very useful. Keep up the good work!
