These adorable photographs were taken from behind the shed where the foxes are living.
It was midday when i took them and the cubs were fast asleep. The lighting was very bad but made a great photo. I am surprised I managed to get any photos though because I was so excited.

To much of my excitement I have foxes living behind my shed. The cubs are so little and adorable! They come out to play at around 5pm every night but I am yet to see the mother. All of the photographs below were taken from a window so I did not disturb them.
Here is a close up image of a mining bee on top of its hive which it has made from digging up the ground and tunneling into the soil.
Above: A common garden frog. They can be identified by the distinctive smooth skin that varies in colour and the irregular dark spots around their eyes, legs and back. They are also able to change the colour of their skin to match their surroundings as shown in the photo against the reeds. Here are photographs of common baby newts found in a pond in Winchester. As you can see their colours vary from bright orange to a pale brown. They are nocturnal and spend the day at the bottom of the pond but they can be found under stones and among pond weed. Below: Photographs of Water Boatman, named because of the boat like shape they make when swimming on their backs. Out of the water they have a unique colouring on their wings and a distinctive looking lime green head. In water the Water Boatman uses its legs to swim, but out of the pond, providing their wings are dry, they can fly from pond to pond to breed. All photographs were taken from a private pond in Winchester.
Above: A Holly Blue butterfly showing its underwing, when the wings are open they are a bright blue colour and when closed you can see the pale blue underside with small black spots which distinguish the Holly Blue butterfly from the Common Blue.
Here is a female Common Darter, which was perched on my washing line, you can tell it is a female by the brown colouring and yellow abdomen, the male Common Darter is a lot more colourful and turns a redish colour as it matures.
I do not usually photograph Starlings as they are very common and do not make the best photos, but i decided i would try to catch some action shots of this bird even though they are very popular. © Rebecca Caton
Here are some photographs which were taken this morning when this Squirrel was spotted intruding on the bird table, he started off by finishing what was left in the seed tray before jumping up and having a nibble at the peanuts. Usually Squirrels are not invited in gardens and people invest in feeders that prevent them coming to the garden, but although squirrels finish all the food they make good photographs. © Rebecca Caton 2016
Below: A Robin red breast, he is easily identified by his red breast hence his name. Both of theses photographs were taken on 8th of May 2016 in my garden. He was attracted to a new bird station. Here is the Robin hiding among a wood pile at the bottom of my garden, he was attracted to all the insects found in the wood.
