Peaceful atmosphere, a nice sunny winter day with frost degrees on Sunday. At the feeding ground thirty ravens, a couple of magpie families and three white-tailed eagles in the perching tree; amiably they allowed the fox to go about his business on their territory.

 

The heat period of foxes is running towards its end, judged from the activity traces. The gestation period of females is about seven weeks, after that increase in the fox family can be expected.

 

Those who go on ski trips in the forests can come across fox dens with scraped soil and other debris at the opening, and a mix of „foxy“ smell and urine is in the air. In winter the fox tidies the den of old nest materials.
