Suddenly, it looked round...
And up trotted its sibling.
One decided to inspect the fox food bowl. Although there was food in it, it wasn't sure how to get it out. It peered in, sniffed and gave up.
They were making such a noise, chasing and yipping, that the larger birds came down to decide just how much of a threat these small furry creatures were.
The nearer cub decided it didn't like the magpie staring at it and chased it off.
I have a feeling we might be seeing a lot more of this playful twosome. And who knows, there might even be a third, lurking shyly in the den. One year, we thought there were only two and in fact there were four!

They are wonderful pictures. It must be so lovely to see them close up x
Smashing pictures. No sign of foxes here this year.
I saw one of them scampering alongside the privet hedge yesterday evening but it was too dark to take a photo. If only the weather would warm up, we might see them in the daytime. Hope so!
Aww! So cute. :) You get some amazing wildlife photos, Lorna, and all in your own backyard! Must be great living where you do. I'd love to see so many wild animals and birds like that up close, on a regular basis. Living in a city sucks sometimes, but we escape it every chance we get. Weekend trips out of town are always good. :)
