I was up with the lark today to try catch up with a vixen with bad leg. I've been seeing her like clockwork around 630/7am most morning. I was there at 4 this morning, no sight in usual field but obviously I was earlier. Took a walk up to a field which I cut yesterday. This field backs onto a huge wood that I know holds plenty of fox.
As I approached the open gateway into field I stopped to have scan with binoculars. Couldn't believe my luck, sat right in middle of field was charlie curled up fast asleep with his back to me.
I set up trigger sticks, and I got into kneeling position.
