Very nice capture! Gotta love that big bushy tail!
Red foxes are an introduced species here, and seem to have adjusted to the climate all too well. I've seen them in city/suburban parks at night on more than one occasion - though never with the camera handy.
wow so pretty we have a few grey foxes here but they are so scarce hard to come across and when you do they get gone fast.We just started seeing Bob cats another hard one to catch on cam

This guy (or girl) took me a long time to capture. We were waiting for some other family and friends to arrive and I sat and watched a pair of foxes for about 45 minutes. For most of the time, they were 100+ metres away, hidden in the shadows. For a few brief moments (and I mean brief) they came closer, but were often between a tree or other folliage. Most of the shots were crap ...
I now realize that many of the great wildlife shots that I admire probably took TONS of patience to get (and certainly preparation and luck). It takes a lot of dedication to sit and wait, and wait, and wait ....
Good capture. I would try to knock down the blown out vegetation in the left hand corner, Its a real distraction from your subject.

Great shot I never see one unless I don't have a camera. Last week I set in a local restaurant in a state park and watched one close to the building sit down and proceed to wash its feet like a cat for ten minutes.
Can you believe NO one in the place had a camera.
