This handsome couple were my first fox sightings of the year.

I’m assuming they’re a couple, as in partners, but they could just as easily be an adult and a juvenile.

Although fox cubs are easily recognisable, I’m not sure how you tell the age of older foxes just from photos, or even how to tell male from female (unless you can see the more obvious signs).

Whatever the circumstances, they were adorable to watch. And, as I was quite distant behind a fence and some shrubs, my presence didn’t disturb their sunbaking, though I’m sure they were aware of my presence.
