Brush Off

Rarely seen in daylight and pretty elusive on Blacka, we know there are foxes around from prints in the snow and the occasional roadkill. Some people claim to smell them but my sensory organs are not so well focused. I see them frequently in gardens and crossing roads where I live and under street lamps in early mornings. Out here they are special: the foxes I have managed to see have appeared strong healthy specimens, better conditioned than the urban ones.

As usual they give you little chance to get a good view but this time at least  I saw both face and tail at the same time. And the fox's brush always comes as a surprise: yes it's really that fine. Then he's off.
