Hi
Not far from my home in NW England there is a small area of pine forest on the coast at Formby Point, that holds a remnant population of red squirrel. This is a species that has declined significantly in the England since the import of the grey squirrel and now just holds on in a few isloated pockets. Before I had even managed to photograph any squirrels, a female red fox came wandering through. The squirrels were quickly forgotten !! A local family of foxes have got accustomed to the visitors and frequently appear on the search of some free food and so it offers a good opportunity to photograph them and with the bonus of it being daylight!!!!
The vixen stayed for a while as she slowly wandered down through the woodland before falling asleep on a grass bank in the sun. Here is a small selection of shots.
I even managed some head shots with a 300mm lens she came so close on occasions.
She seems to be suffering with some ticks around the ears.
An enjoyable encounter 
cheers

, nobody uses that term anymore. What outstanding photography. The lighting is surreal. Nice how she stopped in your outdoor studio like that. Excellent job with an animal you don't see in the wild often. The image quality and bokeh are fabulous.
