I’ve spent the last couple of weeks travelling around Bristol in search of foxes and fox cubs. As you can see from my previous location in Bristol, I’ve seen no foxes but have been looked after excellently by my hosts with many cups of tea.
My most recent location was a back garden in Fishponds, near the centre of Bristol. I was sent an email guaranteeing me urban foxes and up to 5 cubs, this I could not resist! I set up in the back garden, lying on the floor in a dark area with a lot of shadow so I could make myself as invisible as possible. The great feature with this location was that the outside light was triggered by motion. This gave me enough light to shot without a flash, so the foxes were not scared off. My host told me that when she made a clicking sound and called "grubs up" these foxes would appear on que. She made the sound and in a matter of minutes there were 4 fox cubs playing around right in front of me. I could only take pictures whilst the outside light was on, so I had to wait until the foxes triggered the sensor which meant I only had about 1 minute at a time to take photos.
What’s more, the couple in this house have built a fox flap into the side of their fence enabling these foxes to visit the garden as often as possible!
