A fox’s tale by Simon Withyman, UK. Simon wanted to raise awareness of the harm humans can inadvertently cause to wildlife with this image. In Bristol, England, a young red fox sustained a serious injury trying to free herself from plastic barrier netting used as fencing on building sites. The remains were still embedded in her body when this image was taken, hindering her ability to hunt. Local residents left out food for the vixen – here, a chicken leg. After five months, she was caught, treated and released. Tragically, six months later, she was hit by a car and died. (Photo by Simon Withyman/Wildlife Photographer of the Year)
