SUMMER FOX





The fox are wearing their summer coats. In winter they're pure white and have loads more hair, looking quite fluffed out.
We found this mother and pups on a scree slope near a bird colony. They tend to make their lairs high up the very steep slopes under a rocky outcropping. We saw some lighter colored ones, almost blonde, but had a hard time photographing them, they were just out of range.
The pups are nearly full grown. They're fattening up now, and the bird colonies appear abundant.
