Fox Looking Constipated?

Fox
Had a wonderful time a couple of days back. This turned up on the lawn at 10 in the morning going after food falling out of the bird feeders. It kept going and coming 'till abot 12 :30.
This one made me laugh having a go at a stroppy Greater Spotted who was getting a bit nervous.
Lovely bit of weak sun for a change

Great looking image, John with a superb facial expression. I'm also very envious, I wish I had foxes coming to my garden.

A fox in your garden! That must have been a great experience, John. Lovely light and a fantastic expression.

Excellent! I hope you managed to take a few very good shots like these in the two and a half hours you had with this model.

Cool! Did you manage a bunch of captures of his comings and goings? The expression here is an attention getter and you exposure looks very good. For a more classic feel I hope you have others, perhaps with a slightly lower perspective.

Very nice image quality especially for shooting through glass hand held. I think you could warm this up a little perhaps.

That's a comical face. Like the pose as well.

Would have been a good one for last week's weekly challenge gallery theme. I like the comical sneeze like expression.

Thanks all.
I have other more "conventional " poses which I will get around to posting.
I can't lower the angle as its through the room window so I have no choice. Also there is a large bird bath in the way too !
Thanks again.
