Lovely shots, Alan. Very cuite, but probably already adept at opening bin bags...

No 4 is just a winner. Quality of presentation is, as usual with your posts, faultless. Amazing proximity.

Best regards

Fantastic set ... number 4 does take it by a landslide though.

Thanks for comments folks. Don, I got so close by putting some food down, and waiting as still as I possible could for 3 hours on Sunday. This was after waiting over 2 hours on Saturday and geting nothing. One of the guys who put me onto them had waited 8 hours on Sunday morning before he got 3 pics of one cub.

I got pics of two, but was struggling to differentiate, but you'll see in the first 3 pics there is a small dent in the middle of the forehead. That dent is then missing on pics 4 and 5.

I was only going to post the first 4, on here and likewise on flickr, building up to #4 being the last and best. However, they are so cute, I thought I'd share a few extra.

Great shots Alan are they the one's at the back of the Johnie Johnson building ? as my friend watches them from his window and their parents open the bin bags around here.

Terrific pictures, all of them Alan. You have eye contact with the cub each time. I thought that if it clocked you it would have done a runner.

Wow these are ace! Have you been watching Springwatch? There's a fox family with 11 cubs in a back garden being featured on it! These are rather wonderful though. Number 4 takes the prize for me too.
