My Urban Foxes
I started watching my urban fox family in 2011, at this point I'd never properly photographed wild foxes before, or had much to do with foxes. However some years on from then and my life now seems very fox orientated!
Through following the foxes for many years, I have been lucky enough to get to know some of the individuals that visit regularly. The fox images seen in my galleries are all (when possible!) named with the fox in the picture, but this can get a bit confusing for some who don't know them! On the right you will see a family tree of the foxes to help you understand the stories a little better. As you can see I'm lucky enough to have watched them through generations! The main fox is Jack who was born under my shed in 2012 and in 2015 had her cubs under the same shed! The cubs where available to view on Cubcam 24/7.
Foxes are very misunderstood creatures, and I hope that some of my stories and photos shows what foxes are really like. Below I will tell the story of my urban fox families year by year, please scroll down to see their story...
