Out Of The Shadows…
Sidling from the bushes at the lawn’s edge,
Skulking, wary, an outrider and uncertain,
A vixen, slim of face, her torso slim and lean
Approaches the feeder deep into the night.
Untrusting eyes scan from behind a hedge,
Before snatching scraps and retreating to maintain
Partial anonymity and ravage its scavenged food unseen,
Away from the night camera’s heat sensor and sight…

The vixen looks so different to the dog fox, especially facially…
The male’s behaviour is certainly more confident and comfortable…
HMM, MARKING THE LAWN TOO... |
