I was delighted in early April to get an invitation from my good friend Phil, to visit his new woodland hide that he had built. He had been getting regular visits from a fox, and he hoped that I would get some opportunities to photograph this handsome mammal from the hide.
The day looked to be pretty much perfect, as it wasn't too sunny, which would have given harsh shadows in the woodland setting, but also it wasn't heavy clouds which would have made it too dark.
We spent a couple of hours in the hide together and during that time we had three seperate visits from the fox. To start with it was a little wary, but with each visit it relaxed more and came closer.
Between visits we were also treated to watching some of the woodland birds at close range, with Great-spotted Woodpecker and Nuthatch as well as a couple of birds that I rarely bother with, a Robin and Pheasant!!
