When I came across the family, the kits had already reached adolescence. They were exceptionally curious. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spent time getting to know them, and they me. This fox often came quite close which enabled me to take this shot as she was literally just inches from my camera.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved the curiosity in the face. She was just so intrigued. I built a real relationship with them, particularly this individual and mum.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTowards the end of summer, the cubs took themselves off to find their own territory. I\u2019ll probably not come across this fox again, but I made some precious memories with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s moment like this that show what\u2019s important and make my love for wildlife grow even stronger. It\u2019s important for everyone\u2019s well-being that we develop a good relationship with wildlife and value each creature\u2019s contribution. I won\u2019t say where I found this fox family so as not to endanger them, but it wasn\u2019t too far from my home in Farsley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosie hopes that if they like the photo lots of local people will vote for her entry <a href=\"https:\/\/poty.lcegroup.co.uk\/contest\/poty26\/submission\/123299\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">using this link<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anyone wanting to know more about the valuable work Rosie does can contact her on Facebook (Rosie Dutton Photography) or Instagram @rosieduttonphotography or e-mail\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/westleedsdispatch.com\/farsleys-rosie-hopes-fox-photo-wins-competition\/mailto:rosie_dutton@hotmail.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">rosie_dutton@hotmail.co.uk<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sponsored content<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"645\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-19.08.56-645x900.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164819\"  \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bramleybaths.co.uk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.bramleybaths.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By James Bovington West Leeds professional wildlife photographer Rosie Dutton is hoping that local people will vote for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724660,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,208169,393,209403,4884,53731,1860,215953,16,15],"class_list":["post-724659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-leeds","tag-britain","tag-community-reporters","tag-england","tag-farsley","tag-great-britain","tag-james-bovington","tag-leeds","tag-rosie-dutton","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115968419044898620","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
