Little Simon (yes I’ve called a fox Simon 😂 his siblings are Alvin and Theodore if anyone can spot my theme this year!) and he is super cute and an excellent poser.
The cubs are 10 weeks old and have reached the stage where they are moving further from the den, some sleeping above ground and generally becoming more independent in their surroundings. An adult is usually nearby but they also now come out of their own accord. It also means their senses are now keener and they can spot me much easier. So finding them and photographing them is much harder! Because they are already used to me sitting on the floor with the camera they put up with that, but if I move or am standing up, they’re gone! The worst is when I’m sitting in one spot and then hear them in another, trying to reposition myself without being spotted.
