Another cracker Phil to get an action shot like this is just brilliant and love the richness in the colours of foxes

Another excellent shot :toast: Bet you were glad you had a zoom lens on when this kicked off, because the compositions of all the shots in this series have been spot-on.

Definitely different due to the nature of the interaction between two foxes. Lighting is excellent.
