Portraits Rat-style

These portrait photos taken at lunchtime at Falmer Pond. The rat was one of the larger ones I’ve seen, rotund, and looking a little more like a water vole than usual. But it’s a rat. Given the size and shape I wonder if she female and pregnant; but she was certainly bold. Most of these shots are uncropped and were taken from a distance of about 3 metres. The light was not good, but better than early this morning when I was shooting at ISO 3200. These are at around ISO 1250.

Fox and Badger Post

Tonight’s post is about as conventional as I can make it. There’s a fox in the garden captured on the stills camera, and a badger filmed with the trail cam. Nothing unusual, but satisfying for all that. The fox is Pretty.

Those photos were taken tonight. The video clip of the badger is from the early hours of Thursday morning, when were hit by strong winds and heavy rain. I’ve left the sound on.

Yesterday’s Post

For those struggling with finding the fox, it’s in the bottom left-hand corner and little more than a dark spot. This is a crop, just to prove it was there.
