RED FOX - RENARD ROUX (Vulpes Vulpes)

Red Foxes are common here, but not so easy to see during a ballad. They hunt early in the morning or at dusk. They are specialists in hiding in high grass during the day. This one was found in a huge apple orchard, where the grass has been recently cut in the alleys. It was slowly walking, nose on the ground, looking for some food. I approached between the trees, trying to find an opening where it was well visible. Finally, it noticed me and raised his head. Camera was ready. He left quietly immediately after in high grass.

Le renard roux est commun en Normandie, mais on le rencontre rarement en ballade. Il chasse tôt le matin ou à la tombée de la nuit. Celui-ci se trouvait en quête de nourriture, la truffe au sol, dans les allées fraichement fauchées d'un grand verger. Je me suis approché doucement, en essayant de trouver une trouée dans les arbres. Il a fini par déceler ma présence, a levé la tête et est parti tranquillement quelques secondes après vers les hautes herbes.

Very little PP (levels, noise and sharpening). Monopod was used here.
