Wildlife experience

Its very satisfying to experience a special moment when out walking, even more so when you've got a camera ready. I was out researching for a Bird Watching holiday we've launched and checking out a route to walk when I spotted a flock of Canada Geese acting strangely. Moving closer, slowly and carefully I noticed this fox up to no good. In my red anorak I wasn't exactly camouflaged like Simon King so I was grateful of the boarding on a viewing platform that Derbyshire Wildlife Trust had recently constructed to capture the fox's antics with my camera on this video you can see here

Brave fox! I'm surprised the geese didn't see him off. The fox appears to have something in his mouth, was he stealing eggs?

Yes shearersgirl , you would have thought there were enough of them to charge on him. I think it looks like an egg rather than a gosling, and shortly afterwards he went for another but instead of burying it he took it away.Paul
