Taken on Christmas Morning (in brilliant sunlight!) - one of the wild foxes that frequent our fields. Taken from our open bedroom window. I have a sequence showing him locating, pouncing on and devouring a rat, but too far away and not good enough to upload.
Settings: F/5.6 1/2500sec ISO800 AV@420mm handheld. Please view large if you have time.
Thank you so much for your C&Cs on my Robin upload - very much appreciated as always.

What a delightfully composed shot, the tree and grasses forming such a natural frame for the fox: and with the snowy b/g, the animal stands out so well. The lighting and colours could not be better, and the detail is excellent. A truly perfect shot IMHO, Sylvia.

My thoughts entirely, Sylvia. Carol
(please) 
Quote: Really like the use of the tree as a natural border and the turn of head Sylvia. Great detail and vibrant light
Great capture

I quite agree - close isnt always best - in this case a really delightful and lovely shot with the lighting and the natural surroundings - a top quality shot
Absolutely perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please accept my humble UA for such a fantastic image.

Super light and pose Sylvia. Better than the wall I can see out of my bedroom window!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments and votes, with a special THANK YOU toJNC (JeanNoelC) for the User Award - all very much appreciated.
I have uploaded a burst series of 6 images (basically record shots) showing the Fox pouncing on a rat. These have been cropped in synchronisation in order to preserve the movement when "mousing over" and it does actually seem to work. Hope you enjoy the sequence.
Sylvia
wow Sylvia what a great sight to have seen on a snowy xmas morning lovely shots and the first one is a stunner
What a treat, I've really enjoyed watching the hunt! This is excellent nature photography Sylvia, very well captured indeed.
David
excellent set of course I like the main picture but 3 and 4 are magical
A cracking set of images Sylvia, the action shots are great fun to view using the mouseover
How lucky you are to see foxes so close to your home. A really magnificent set Sylvia.
