Red Fox mating in the Scottish Borders

I had been seeing glimpses of fox’s around the fields in the area of  Stichill in the Scottish Borders. i was looking again this morning and found them mating in the middle of a field. They were coupled for about an hour before they moved off. They were a little distant, but I  manged a few shots with the 5oomm lens + the 1.4x tele-converter. F5.6, 1/180 sec ISO 400

About Ron McCombe

I live in the Scottish Borders near Coldstream and like to photograph the local wildlife. Northumberland and South East Scotland have an abundance of natural history with sites such as Bass Rock, The Farne Islands, Holy Island and the Lammermuir Hills. I have also traveled extensively throughout Europe, visiting Norway Sweden, Finland, Poland and Spain. I have also traveled the USA and Canada. But I have to say I prefer Scotland, the lowlands, the highland and islands, Scotland has an abundance of wildlife to be photographed and enjoyed. I like to visit the Isle of Mull when I can, the wildlife and the scenery is stunning, some great species here to photograph, white tailed eagles, otters and red deer to name but a few. You should come along and take a look Ron
