Well blimey O’Reilly! There’s something you don’t see everyday! ;)

Indeed – thankfully I managed to get a few pictures before he sauntered off. Not what I was expecting to see in a car park at 9am!!

Wow, that’s one brave or very confused fox. You were so clever to get that on camera at the right moment!

Reply

geekmummy August 7, 2011 at 9:27 am

I think he’s brave. He sat there whilst I pulled my car up next to him, wound the window down and took several pictures. In fact I got bored before he did, and drove off to park, leaving him there!

Wow – that is amazing! What a bold fox. x

geekmummy August 7, 2011 at 9:31 am

He was unbelievably bold – that picture was taken by my car which I pulled up alongside him, engine still running!

Doesn’t seem to have a care.

He really didn’t!

Think I’d be quite scared to approach it. Nicely captured!

geekmummy August 7, 2011 at 11:15 pm

I was inside my car at the time, so felt pretty brave :)

Love foxes.

I love foxes too, and was really pleased to get this one on camera :)

New car park attendant?

I wouldn’t double park with him sitting there, I tell you!

Gotta be the best SS I’ve seen in a while. So random. Who would have expected something like that?!!

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:32 pm

He certainly took me by surprise!

wow what a bold Mr Fox, great shot

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:38 pm

Very bold – he just sat there whilst I drove up beside him and took several pictures!

Whuuuuuuuut? Just sitting there in broad daylight???

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:39 pm

Yup, just sitting there, bold as brass – in fact he was having a wash when I first pulled up next to him!

Julia August 7, 2011 at 9:50 am

It reminds me of the advert -’well it’s good but it’s not a hen’!

I wonder what he’s thinking!

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:40 pm

No idea. He seemed very calm :)

Emma @ScienceSparks August 7, 2011 at 10:02 am

Brilliant! How random!

What did you do?? xx

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:45 pm

Stayed in my car, and parked a long way away from him!

When I lived in the countryside I never saw a fox… Ever. But the moment I moved to Leicester and lived by the city centre I would see at least 2 a day! Infect there was a family opposite where I lived and got to see the cubs grow up, was actually rather educational cos I always wondered what they do differently to country living foxes.

Nice to see the one you met posed for you :)

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:46 pm

He was very kind to do that for me :)

Mari August 7, 2011 at 10:16 am

Crikey! We have a fox who lives close by and can often be found in our back garden, it’s quite scary to see him strolling around so boldly especially after the mailings of children a while back.
Nice photo

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:50 pm

I was taken aback to see him out in the broad daylight!

Reply

Rebecca August 7, 2011 at 10:19 am

Wow – great photo. It pays to always have a camera to hand – doesn’t it?

Reply

geekmummy August 9, 2011 at 11:53 pm

Definitely – I’m so grateful for my iPhone camera :)

Oh stunning! He looks brave doesn’t he!

Reply

geekmummy August 10, 2011 at 12:00 am

Very – there was no scaring him off!

Reply

Lou Strachan (@Bobbity666) August 7, 2011 at 12:10 pm

He was a brave one – don’t see that everyday x

Reply

geekmummy August 10, 2011 at 12:02 am

Certainly not

claire August 7, 2011 at 2:48 pm

Oh wow,great photo right time and place :)

geekmummy August 10, 2011 at 12:03 am

Rule 1 of taking a great photo – stand in the right place (or in this case drive your car to the right place!)

We see a lot of them around here, it’s a shame their homes have pretty much been destroyed x

Wow – I hadn’t spotted that either! Well done sharp eyes! :)

Wow wow WOW! Now there is something you rarely see. What a great capture Ruth :)

Reply

geekmummy August 10, 2011 at 12:07 am

I thought it was a little unusual, very pleased it came out well :)

Minibreak Mummy August 10, 2011 at 4:24 pm

There are foxes round here, but I’ve never seen one a) sitting still or b) hanging around in a carpark.

Very impressed!

Reply

geekmummy August 10, 2011 at 10:38 pm

I saw presumably the same one a couple of weeks before this picture was taken, running through the same car park one afternoon, carrying what looked like a dead cat in its mouth. It seems he’s very bold!
