Or other? Caught on my new trailcam the other night:

This is why I started setting mine to video.I used to set to 3 shot burst for the first week in a new place so I didn't have to trawl through all the vids but a few times it caught something which I couldn't identify and never came back so I gave up and started using the video setting.
 
It was set to three shot burst but nothing captured. I'll try the video setting once my new SD card arrives as I've had to nick the one from my daughter's camera
 
The snout looks foxy but it's hard to tell as it's moved slightly, I think I can see a big bushy tail above the V in the foliage
 
I've cut the foliage back a bit and set it to video. Not back for a week now so should have a chance of getting something on there...
 
Well, after leaving it in place for another week, came home to find it had been triggered a few times. It takes a series of 3 photographs (at 3 second intervals). The first set showed a small dot quite far away - think it's a rabbit but it's only because the dot moves in between pictures you can tell it's anything. One of the sets clearly showed two rabbits but the last set is the most intriguing:

The other two taken just after this don't show anything, but whatever it was has a long tail... I'm still not convinced it's a fox but will set it up a bit lower in the coming days to see if I can get some more pictures
