Red Fox - Vulpes vulpes
Canon 800mm f8 1/400th @ iso200
It should be noted that no Magpies were harmed in the taking of this photograph !! In reality they never seem to be - although given half a chance I am sure the fox would have one or two as they are the scourge of the foxes life.
If anything is likely to give away the presence and ruin a potential hunt it is the Magpie. They always seem to manage to remain close to the foxes but just out of reach from a potential lunge and set of teeth.
A bit of tale about an early evening venture out photographing here
