Midday fox on the prowl

A rather thin looking Fox is out on a rare midday prowl looking for a good meal yesterday.

I had been watching its progress for around ten minutes when a large noisy Raven arrived on the scene.

The Raven was intent on repelling the fox from vicinity of its nest site that was close by in the cliff face.

The Raven was pushing the fox a little to hard  and it turned and snapped at the Raven which instantly backed off enough for the fox to move on.

But the Raven went back on the attack when the fox started to move towards its nest again.

This time the fox turned through 90 degrees and walked away from the raven until they both seemed happy with the distance.

The fox settled down for a bit of a rest before hunger sent it off along the track again still looking for that elusive meal that is rarely easy to find.
