What a cute photo you caught of that fox, Hugh! I’m so jealous. I would love to get a picture of one!
I was very lucky to catch that photo, Carol Anne. Mr Fox posed very nicely.
When we lived in Florida, we used to see red foxes frequently. It seems this fox was posing for the picture. Very cute.
We have a lot of foxes all over the UK, Eugi. However, they don’t tend to come out during daylight hours because of the threat from humans.
When I lived in Florida, we lived in a gated community and a red fox was a regular visitor. We fed it and gave it water. It was very tame and friendly.
I think once they trust somebody, they will keep coming back. I’ve seen the same thing happen with some garden birds who will eat seeds from somebodies hand.
I actually wonder what are animals thinking when they are looking at us with their big eyes but not running away. How do they know who is not a threat?
My entry here:
This fox knew it was safe as I took the photo from an upstairs window. Plus there was a garden fence between us. I think , like humans, they assess the danger before deciding what to do.
Maybe he wants you to adopt him. I vote for the name Seuss.
He never came into our garden, just the neighbour’s garden. They were feeding him as he was limping.
I might have seen 2 foxes here where I live in the 40 years that I’ve been around these parts. So for me, this would be a very rare sighting and being able to catch a photo of it is ever more rare if this was my pic. Are they a common animal in your neck of the woods, or is this just a lucky moment?
Yes, foxes are very common in the UK, especially in urban areas. However, they are nighttime creatures, so it’s rare to see them during the daytime.
What a beauty and proud creature!
They are, Erika. Very rare to see them out during the daytime as they are nighttime creatures.
I know, we are living close to a forest but have only seen one two or three times.
I agree with Annette. He is so cute. Definitely wearing his winter coat. I’m thinking he’s wondering if you have food for him
It was our neighbours who were feeding him, Brenda. They were away for the weekend at the time, so I took the photo and sent it to them saying they had a visitor waiting for them to come back.
Lol. Poor beastie 😆
High, did not see a pingback to click. 😒
Afraid not, Christine. Which post were you linking too? Was it this one?
Yes. I’m not a techy person. Just left my web address which didn’t go through. 😒 Christine
When did you create the pingabck? Did you insert the address of this post into the pingback box?
Hugh, I never saw a pingback box on this post. So, no worries. I can put my web address and book link in its place. Thanks for trying to help. Christine
You have to create a pingback when drafting your post, Christine. You won’t see a pingback box unless you create one.
I hope this post helps.
Hugh, thanks for the pingback post. I’ll have to study it further. I only have the free WordPress version and not sure what is allowed. 📚🎶 Christine
Creating pingbacks is something all WordPress users have access to regardless of which WordPress plan they’re on, Christine.
Thanks for your continuing help with pingbacks. I read about them and decided not to use them. They could be an open invitation for spam. When I leave my web address, it links to my website. And the debut book link is on the welcome page. Trying to keep it simple. But, you have a lot of tech knowledge and thousands of followers so you are doing it right as a blogger author, and marketing expert. Maybe I’ll get better at it over time. 📚🎶 Christine
I’ve heard that theory, Christine, but all the spam I ever got was on old posts that contained no pingbacks.
Last year, WordPress installed new anti-spam software. I used to get hundreds of spam comments a day. Since they installed the new anti-spam software, I seldom get more than a couple of spam comments a week now. Many other bloggers have confirmed the same thing.
Be careful with link-dropping as many bloggers class it as bad as spam. I’d recommend only leaving links when invited to do so by a blogger. And only create a pingback to a post when your post has a connection to the post you’re linking to.
I hope that all helps.
Hugh, I’ve never seen a fox in our area of San Diego. But, we are over run with coyotes. A mountain nearby. And they are hungry, looking for small animals at all hours. I have 2 Border Aussies (half siblings) born a week apart, same dad, different mothers). They actually pose for photos! 🐶🎶🐶 Christine
I’ve never heard of Border Aussies, so had to look them up, Christine, Your two dogs are great posing for photos. My two dogs always move at the wrong moment, so photos of them tend to be blurry.
Wow, a fox! Something we never see. I think he looks very regal in that pose, Hugh. We struck a pose in Sedona last week as youn will see when you visit my WW post. Happy Wednesday!
Foxes are very common all over the UK, Terri. Especially so in urban areas. They are night creatures, so it’s rare to see one during daylight hours. It was the knowledge of knowing it was going to get some food that bought this one out.
That’s really cool to see different kinds of wildlife where we all live, Hugh. Yesterday, in the back of my brother’s home, we saw a lynx family complete with mama and three kits. Amazing!
I’m just wondering how Toby and Austin would react to seeing a lynx in the garden, Terri. I don;’t think they would approach it.
They’re smarter than Brodie. He smelled it and wanted to go outside and investigate.
Wow, that’s a great shot, Hugh. Was he in your garden?
Thanks. No, he/she was in our neighbours garden.
Here’s mine Hugh
Oh! Look at Mr Raynard doesn’t he look smooth. That’s a great shot I love it Hugh . Did the boys see him? 💜💜
No, I took this photo from an upstairs window, Willow. The fox was sat in the neighbours back garden. Had the dogs seem it, they’d have gone berserk.
Yes I bet they would… Ruby bless her would of waved and invited him in for a cup of tea 💜😅😅
How great to capture a fox in a photo. Geoff LePard has several foxes that regularly visit his garden – which he takes pictures of for his blog – and they are also obliging!
We have a lot of foxes where I live, but it’s rare to see them during daylight hours. They usually only come out at night. I think they may have a den is one of the neighbours gardens as I’ve also spotted a few fox cubs.
That’s great to hear. They keep down the rodent population!
That’s very true. I never thought about that, so foxes are very welcome in our garden (and the gardens of our neighbours).
Wow, Hugh! You had a fox in your yard? And you managed to snap a photo. That is all very special. The only foxes I’ve ever seen are always in a hurry! :)
This fox was sat in out neighbours back yard, Liesbet. The neighbours had been feeding it because it had been limping. It visited them everyday for about a month.
Great photo, Hugh. I think animals know. I often thanks them for letting me get the photo. Foxes aren’t normally ones to hang around, at least not the ones we have around here.
My two dogs certainly seem to know when I want to take a photo of them, Dan. They always seem to move at that vital moment.
I found out that my neighbour had been feeding this fox as it had been limping. So it was waiting for some food. I always thought they were nighttime creatures, but it must have known there was a certain part of the day when my neighbour left food out for it. Sadly, we don’t see it anymore, although the sounds of foxes do sometimes wake me at night.
I always wonder who’s training whom…Our dogs seemed to be very good at training us.
Aw, so cute…
