It fast became a trending story, rising to become the site\u2019s most popular post.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Paul\u2019s Reddit post had gone viral, garnering\u00a0well over\u00a0a million views.<\/p>\n
Paul, who was stunned at the reaction to his\u00a0image, said: \u2018We’d noticed a few weeks ago that the overgrown bushes at the end of our garden were rustling and moving, and at first we didn’t think much of it as it was probably just one of the local pigeons.<\/p>\n
\u2018However, after a little while we spotted a fox head popping up above the shrubs!<\/p>\n
\u2018One sunny afternoon I heard her and fired up my iPhone and managed to catch a video of the mum appearing a bit cautious, while the cubs didn’t seem to mind at all.\u2019<\/p>\n
Paul added: \u2018We were a bit cautious of their presence at first, but they’ve caused us absolutely no trouble and are a nice addition to a city garden!\u2019<\/p>\n
The image, shot on an IPhone 5S, was captioned \u2018I\u2019ve got a family of foxes living in the bush at the end of our garden. The mum is particularly sneaky\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n
The image quickly captured the imagination of Reddit users.<\/p>\n One asked: \u2018Do you live in a fairytale?\u2019<\/p>\n Paul said someone posted online that the image must be a fake.<\/p>\n But Paul has a video of the fox family playing at the end of his garden to show it\u2019s a genuine image (see below).<\/p>\n There are reportedly 10,000 foxes living in London.<\/p>\n The first foxes descended on the capital in the 1940s, according to thefoxwebsite.net<\/a><\/p>\n Time Inc (UK) is the publisher of Amateur Photographer<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n![\"Sneaky](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Sneaky-Fox.web_.jpg\")
