Scrawny Fox Cub 3
This would explain why the local vixen is looking a bit weary and thin, and is intent on our chickens (two close calls in the last few weeks). The cubs are clearly growing, but this one certainly didn't look too healthy, and was having trouble with crossing the road. It's a main road with a 20mph limit (that no-one ever sticks to) but with me there the cars were slowing to see what the loon with the big camera was doing, and then saw the fox and slowed further. In the end it crossed in front of a Ka, which stopped to let it go.
At least, I 'think' it's a cub and not the Vixen - seemed too small to be an adult... But the teats seem quite prominent.
