More Fox and Badger pix

Well, this is really much more like it… last night the foxes were evasive, but the badger was on great form. The one downside was that we were shrouded in mist, but I took the shots anyway as it is relatively simple to clean them up in Lightroom/Photoshop.

No badgers yet this evening, but the beautiful male fox is beginning to realize that I am not a danger. It’s still a game of me keeping very still and him edging back and forth, but the dance lasted about 10 minutes tonight (and I was able to take a few photos)

      Hi Charles 😉 Yes it’s becoming a little more organized out there. They are still very cautious but at least I’m getting to see them.

    I like the face of that fox, kind of like the old dogfox from Adele’s neighborhood!

      Darko, he’s got a great looking face. Very distinctive.
