More Edinburgh mammals...

I dropped by Duddingston Loch this morning to see if yesterday's otters were putting on their show again. Nothing doing on that front but I did stop en route when I saw this red fox sunning itself in a field near to Craigmillar Castle. It did not seem to enjoy the photoshoot as much as me and slunk off around the hill. A careful approach of the next field using a wall as cover allowed me to watch it hunting in the frosty grass for half an hour. Whilst watching it I became aware that there were three roe deer browsing in the background. Not a bad safari for a city...
