Foxes in Dublin

rowanh

Anyone know of anywhere that might be good to look for foxes to photograph in south dublin? I havent really taken any photos in ages other than on holiday, im feeling motivated and this seems like it would be fun.

Tymon park has lots.

Tyson park isn't somewhere I'd consider going with an expensive camera.

I live local. It's no worse than any other park.

I live on the edge of sandymount and ballsbridge so somewhere closer by would be good. I saw an article in the Irish times from 2014 about the wildlife around the dodder just up from where i live so that might be a place to start.

I see foxes frequently in my area - carpenterstown, Dublin 15. It's near the Royal Canal and plenty of open fields so must be a few setts. Saw one last night going across the road at porterstown

Post up any good pics !

I have seen lots in my Mam's neighbourhood when I go home, never got a chance to get a shot, they usually come out at night..

See them regularly in irishtown and along the dodder from the Aviva down to London Bridge

There's a small smelly little feicer at the front of the old Player Wills factory on the Sth. Circular Road. He's there every morning at sunrise but be warned, he stinks to high heaven! Think his cousins are skunks....

I live in Ballsbridge too and see them often along the Dodder around Herbert Park.
