High streaky cloud formations created a dramatic sunrise over Bartinney Down early AM just as a fine female fox briefly breaks cover in the low light to hunt for voles in the rough grass fields.
Thirty minutes later with improving sunlight I was in luck as the vixen reappeared just twenty meters from my hedgerow hide-away near the banks of one of Bartinney's small ponds.
I watched as she located, pounced and dispatched two voles in quick succession after which she picked up on the sound of my close shutter action and immediately faded away under cover to continue her morning hunt in one of the many adjoining fields
A nice sunlit encounter with a fine looking fox and many thanks to Peter Tonkin for the loan of a complete camera and lens system while mine is away for a much needed service and repair
