Trotting

My female fox trotting to take the bird ( it was 400yds away) to her cubs presumably. Not often I see my foxes in the daylight but I spotted this one from my bed as a dot in the field which moved.

After putting the bins on it I shot downstairs to get the tripod, camera, extender (the longest one which I never use unless I really have to) and some sort of clothing seemed slightly appropriate albeit later. 

My roe deer were there closer in our field grazing in Extra

Poppy has banged my knees for a walk. Not often she does this so we headed out on a lead. We didn't get too far and she called the tune as yesterday she was eating with her back legs splayed and it crossed my mind that yes I was ready for the end but no not really ready to part with my friend of 17 years. Today she has looked more on the ball.
