After my recent article in The Bristol Evening Post I have been contact by quite a few people living in Bristol with Urban Fox locations and foxes which visit gardens on a regular basis.
Reading through my emails I decided to head to a spot near Clifton Village where I was told about two locations where foxes could be spotted often.
The location was near Clifton Village, I got there about 1 hour before dusk with my camera equipment and waited. As I was sat in the street near the possible location a large chap leaving his house near where I was sat was shutting his front door and saw me sat in the street with a large telephoto lens. Before he could ask what I was doing I asked him "Silly Question, do you see many foxes here" The chap replied "yes I have hundreds of photos Ive taken of these foxes some are of living foxes and others of dead ones!"
At that point I realised I was in the right location. The man disappeared and I wait and waited and waited. The problem with urban fox photography you are often hanging around in streets after dark so the locals get twitchy and there is a lot of curtain twitching going on.
After two hours no foxes and quite a few people looking nervous out there windows at me I decided to head home and call it a day.
