Here is a video of this year's litter of fox cubs.

I missed the whole litter coming out as the camera was not set up, but here are 2 of them popping their heads out of the hole, I think there are 4 or 5 of them in total.

The mother is quite young, she is sleeping by the hole as I type.

I do love your videos

Beautiful

Thanks for posting

Here is today's video.

The camera work is shaky especially in the middle as the set up isn't very good for moving the camera.

But keep watching till the end as there is some still footage of the mother and cubs.

Those cubs are gorgeous.

Here is some better footage of the cubs from this morning.

I managed to catch all 6 of them.

This is a slightly better version of the last video. I've up'd the bitrate and cut out some camera shake.

Not seen any this year. Brilliant videos.

My apologies if this has already been asked, but how old are they? They certainly look as though they've done a fair bit of growing alreadys.

I'm not sure, I first saw them this Saturday, so they've probably been in the den for a couple of weeks.

There was a programme about foxes last year that explained how long they stayed in the den for before being old enough to go out, but I forgot how long it was.

I think they will stay in the garden for another month before they leave as independent adults.

Here is a good timeline for foxes.

Here is some more of the cubs from this morning.

They seem to come out between 8am and 9am. Although they were also out during the night.

Wow, so many young foxes to look after! (bet the mother's tired)

Thanks for the videos, Koantus.

This year they had 6 cubs, last year only 3, but the year before they had 9 cubs.

This was the year the fox had 8 or 9 cubs.

Today's video.

The cubs were out at 2:30pm today, they are getting quite active and play fighting.

Here's some more close up action. It is a little out of focus than I would have liked.

They are gorgeous.

Lovely videos , I have to admit that before getting a camera, I never appreciated the beauty of wildlife much, other than when I had been to Oz. But since starting to take an interest in cameras, there are some truly amazing footage to be recorded & you have shown just that.

I'm glad you liked the videos. They were taken with the Cannon 600d and the lens I mentioned in the Currys thread.

I have converted the .mov files to .mp4 files for smaller files size as my up load speed is very slow. 100meg takes half an hour to up load.

Here is some more action from yesterday.

Looks like there is another litter of cubs this year.

Had 4 cubs in the garden this afternoon. They look too young to be the litter from April so might be another litter from nearby.
