Fox Watch

 Hi everyone, me and my dad went out the other evening to the usual woods to try and see what we could record with the new camera. Almost straight away, we saw three of the young foxes in one of the fields. Two of them quickly ran off into the bushes but one stayed put and allowed us to get some nice shots.

We made it to the other field (near where the recent post "up in the woods" was filmed.), and found the rest of the family; the vixen and three other cubs. Here are some of the photos I took (some of them aren't amazing as I'm still getting used to the camera and how to use it):

This last one is my favourite. The vixen was stood there for a moment, looking right back at me and my dad, and I took this photo which is so far my favourite footage from the year.

So far, this has been my favourite moment/encounter for the blog this year, and adds to the already fantastic amount of fox footage we have had. Even when the light started to disappear, the foxes sometimes appeared again, and we managed to enjoy them for a good half an hour. Anyway, that's all for today's post, remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading!

Reed Bunting

 I was testing out a new high - quality camera and here is what I saw. This is not in the usual blog woods as it is in a different location a few kilometres away.

Here is a reed bunting, the highlight of this post:

Here is a heron that flew over: 

I also tested it out on some butterflies. The cabbage whites flew around too much to get a decent photo, but this ringlet stayed still enough for a fantastic shot:

I also took this photo of a few sheep to show the potential quality of some future footage compared to previous ones on my video camcorder. 

Finally here are a few photos I took of a very distant red kite that flew over my house the other day. I've seen it previously, and I'm aware that it has been in the area for a few weeks now. 

That's all for this week's post. Keep an eye out for more footage with the new camera - hopefully it means that there will more high quality footage on the blog.
