I've borrowed this lovely 300mm f/2.8 Canon L lens for the weekend - what a beauty! It's had a bit of a battering over its life, but the glass is still as lovely as ever, and focusing is smooth and fast.
I stuck it on my 550D and went in search of wildlife. Saw a roe doe creeping through the trees, but she didn't want to play.
Then a few young rabbits... and a couple of older ones, including this one that appears to have had myxy, and an ear full of fleas.
And then I thought, what the heck, I'll see if I can call up a fox. Within seconds of squeaking there was a brown flash in the undergrowth, just 20 yards away. He sat checking me out from behind a tree for a few seconds, didn't like what he saw, and scarpered.
And all I got was this shot of where he was a second earlier - you can just see him (circled) sneaking off through the trees. Better luck next time perhaps!

That is a nice piece of glass, could even put a 2x converter on that and still have plenty of light.
Fox constantly evades me, only ever see them when I am without the camera
some nice pics and its a shame you didn't get the fox in closer
