Arabian Red Foxes - Dhahran Hills
I saw two Arabian
Red Foxes for the first time in several weeks and managed to get close and photograph
them. The last few sightings I have had, have been very brief including once of
an adult and three small cubs. I almost always see the animals as it is getting
dark so the light is never the best but the photos show then animals quite well
especially their well-adapted large ears. At this time of year the animals are
never at their best and look a bit worn and tiered, probably after having to
bring up a family earlier in the year. No matter how many times I see the
animals and how close I get I always enjoy seeing the foxes and it normally
makes a very nce ending to the evenings birding.
