Sophie Luby, a self-taught photographer, captures stunning fox photos in Padgate, showcasing her talent and passion for wildlife.

When she arrived, two locals told her that the foxes usually come out between noon and 3 PM. To her excitement, they showed up in the snow, and she managed to get some fantastic footage of them.
Sophie shared that one fox was quite friendly and approached her, while the other was a bit shy. She mentioned, “The confident one came right up to me, but my short lens wasn’t short enough.”
Sophie has gained quite a following for her wildlife photography, with nearly 50,000 followers on Instagram. She started this hobby over two years ago after spotting a woodpecker near her home, which inspired her to dig out an old camera.
Her passion for wildlife photography has grown since then. She even received a letter from Sir David Attenborough after sharing some incredible photos of a kingfisher landing on her head.
Recently, she traveled to Costa Rica and captured footage of hummingbirds, which she had always wanted to photograph. This year, she plans to photograph all UK owl species in just one day.
