Too Damn Cute

Muineach

Hi all,
Well the cubs are coming outside the den area, 2 of then "play" and "hunt" around outside while the other 3 are more wary of me, I tend to only go down to them every third of fourth day with a few scraps as I don't want them to become reliant on me for food. The weather has been poor lately so I finally caught up on all of the processing I had to do.

I still have problems focusing on them as they move too fast, I tried the AI servo option as well but still not quick enough (Canon 70-300mm IS USM).

All of the pictures below are 8mp un-cropped, if you want to see them full size just add me as a contact so you can see the full size.

In number 5 the black hole above his head is the main entrance to the den.

Next on the agenda is "Fox Fight Club" , for when the fight and chase each other, they don't do any damage to each other, it's all part of the "who's the top dog"

I like #3 and #5.
5 reminds me of a vampire about to strike for some reason.

what time of day did you take these, and how close to the little divils were you? excellent photos by the way.

All of the photo's were taken at 300mm except number 2 which was 180mm.
The bank on number 4 which the fox is looking over is about 11 yards away from where I sit, the closest they come is about 4-6 yards, they seem to be comfortable with that distance.
