It's getting to that time of year ...

In the autumn foxy families disperse - the youngsters are sent on their way and have to find new communities and we get new foxy faces appearing in the garden.

I find it quite sad as I get rather fond of the babies - particularly little Feisty. My main photo is him being groomed by Mama (he's her singleton) - the extra photo shows Mama telling him enough is enough.

Sometimes one of the cubs (usually a vixen) is permitted to stay to help with the next year's cubs.
