The Dune Foxes Of The Netherlands

ADVERTISEMENT

I will try to attempt to share with you the love I have developed for the foxes living in the dunes on the coast of the Netherlands, and the joy I experience in photographing them.

I have started nature photography around 2012 and it didn’t take me long to “find” this unique group of foxes living near the coast in an area where it is forbidden to hunt them so they have less fear for “us”, the two-legged creatures, and are very approachable. This gave me the ability to make close by photos and record their behaviour in a special way, and I by sharing these “moments” with you I hope to bring across the love I have for these beautiful creatures.

    Is it possible that the foxes come inland. I swear last night, a fox was on our back lawn in Oranjewoud Friesland. We live very close to the woods.

    I painted one of your photos in watercolor. I usually ask photographer's permission, but forgot where I saw the photo. I adore foxes and your photos are just lovely!

    Mooie foto's,zelf woon ik in Beverwijk,en daar heb je Kerkplein,een plein in het centrum rondom een kerk https://www.google.nl/maps/place/Kerkplein,+Beverwijk/@52.4732157,4.6804452,12z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x47c5f089178ecee9:0x754963a312cd127e!8m2!3d52.4867495!4d4.6582974?hl=en Daar jaagt ook al maanden een vos. Meerdere keren per week vindt je daar op dat-plein karkassen en losse vleugels van kraaien. Dat plein is helemaal bewoond rondom,en toch weet een vos daar te jagen. Prachtige sluwe dieren gewoon.

    You should't a fox will never be a pet. it will frustrate you very fast, overall foxes are better off in nature then in a human home. Respect nature!
