Caught up with a fox I missed near by.
They cut some grass and I got there about 10pm.
Sure enough it appeared but wow, it hadn't forgotten what a dim red ir light source is!!
It slowly moved off but stopped to look back at what turned out to be about 130 yards.
At the shot it went on a death run and piled into a thick wood. I couldn't find it so went and got my dog. She found it ok but being now deaf I had to wait ages for her to come out of the wood after I clambered into her to retrieve my fox!
Still, she's a good girl, I'd of never found it otherwise.IMG_20230719_232350.webp

Here is a lousy photo of it eyeing up the ir and or my silhouette.

There is one cub left also somewhere. Two weekends ago I was just the other side of a fence and thick hedge basically ten yards away from vixen and cub fighting, her pushing it off no doubt!
Night night..,
 
Well done its v satisfying when all goes to plan. I have one which is super wary and waiting for two fields of conservation grass to be cut. 80 mm of rain in the last 10 days is however put mowing on hold.
