"Vulpes vulpes"
In other words, the (red/common) fox.
This rascal (no idea if it's a male or female) was happily hunting in a field when I spotted him. While I was observing and photographing him, the animal suddenly took off because of a few walkers.
I had a feeling the animal would come back and took the opportunity to position myself better.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, I suddenly saw movement on the other side of the field. And sure enough, there he/she was again. Eventually, after a lot of stalking, I sat down somewhere, hoping the animal would come towards me. Patience is a virtue, and in this case, that proved to be true once again. Slowly, he/she came towards me, to within about 30 meters.
All in all, I was able to enjoy it for over an hour, although unfortunately a lot of photos weren't sharp due to heavy heat haze over the field. Nevertheless, I still have a few very nice keepers, so for now, I'll be spamming you with fox photos. 😋
