Foxy business! 🦊

Some foxy shots from last month. I love how social foxes are. Both parents raise and support the cubs. And even daughter foxes help raise their parent’s cubs. I love when a submissive fox wags its tail and does airoplane ears to another fox. 🥹

Which is your favourite?

Whilst in north-west Iceland, I set up numerous camera traps to photograph Arctic foxes along the coastline. During low tide, the foxes wander the shore scavenging for washed-up fish and molluscs. After several days, I began to notice that many of them followed distinct paths, often using the exact same routes.

The foxes themselves were surprisingly easy subjects. The conditions were not.

A storm rolled in with 50mph winds, quickly covering my lens and motion sensor in snow. Despite the weather, I still managed to capture several images I’m really happy with. The foxes were also incredibly curious about the setup — at one point I even found a little fox poo beside one of my tripod legs!

I was especially lucky to photograph a female white morph. The blue morph featured here is her mate.

I’d love to continue working on this project one day!

Equipment used: Canon R5, RF 24mm f/1.4, Camtraptions PIR V2

45 seconds with Sylvie 😍

This girl is already sporting an amazing red summer coat with still some long ear tufts left. She’s such a pretty squirrel and she’s queen of the Squirrel Forest. Sylvie chases everyone away! Short video from today ☺️

Where do red squirrels sleep? 🐿️💤

Red squirrels sleep in a squirrel nest called a dreys - either built from a ball of twigs or found within old woodpecker hollows. Squirrels will line the inside with moss and lichen. This not only provides cosiness and warmth but also helps keep ectoparasites down.

Squirrels will typically have more than one drey - a back up drey as an insurance but also females will always move their babies once or twice. There’s a few reasons she may move her kits - she might feel the drey is no longer safe, there might be a build up of ectoparasites or the scent of her kits may be too strong and attractive to predators.

Today I found Tord’s drey. It’s about five metres from our front door 🤣 This further confirms that he thinks he was born in the house. Tord is a squirrel I rehabbed two years ago and released to the wild.



By now, mothers have given birth
and are busy tending to their tiny, blind kits.

Bath time 🛁🫧

Social grooming is important foxes. And this cub was happy to tolerate it - but the cub really wanted to run around and jump on mum! 😍

Rusty!!!! I’m back in Sweden and guess what?! Rusty is actually a girl 🫣😅 Which makes so much sense but I’ve never seen her lactating and I thought I saw something else making me think Rusty was a boy 😅 Rusty has babies and I might know which tree the drey is in! 🥹🤩

Fox cub in the forget-me-not flowers 🥹

After spending over 100 hours with red foxes these past few weeks, this is by far my favourite photo! It was also taken in the first hour of this project 😅

Now that my new video is finally live on YouTube, I feel I can share some fox photos. I really hope you enjoy the new video. I’d sort of forgotten how nice a British woodland is during the spring. I haven’t spent a spring here since 2019 😮

And of course the other news is my mail club! You can sing up to Letters from the Wild on my Patreon. First letters go out tomorrow 💌
