They are all great shots...I especially like the otter in the water - its too cute.

Great light on the foxes, it really brings out their coats.

The otter on his back in the water is truly a "Canon" moment. I absolutely love it.

All very nice. Otter looking up from the water is special. Last two are wonderful. Nice poses on both.

Great series of shots Mark, my favorite is the last shot, in spite of the tail being cut off.

second otter shot is a classic. I know it wasnt easy shooting through the wire for those foxes either - good job.

Excellent shots as always Mark. The foxes are especially good. Looks like the sun was out for your visit! I really look forward to my next visit, perhaps they will have some fox cubs next month.

Thanks mate :) As fences go the ones at the BWC are a bit more photographer friendly than some. I saw that Otter do that earlier in the day and missed the oppertunity to get the shot. I kept a close eye on her for a while and eventually she repeated the pose and I was ready this time round ;)

Thanks Nick :) I seem to do well with the weather whenever I go there :) I asked one of the keepers if there was any sign of cubs this year and he said that Honey the vixen is pregnant and the fox cubs should be out and about by late April. I'm going to hold off paying for one of their photography days to coinside with that event :)

I will echo Ted's comments on these ones Mark. Nice work!
