Badger Fest

One of the badgers was back this evening and was clearly much more interested in the peanuts and scraps than whether a human was lurking nearby, camera in hand. Neither of us were bothered by the light drizzle.

Night View and Badger

A short post tonight. I’ve spent the bulk of the evening watching for foxes and badgers. No luck at all on the former, but finally a brief encounter with the latter. I could hear them well enough, but they seemed intent on staying on the far side of the fence.

While I waiting I took a few shots of the view from the garden. This was hand-held at 1/60s, f/2/8 and ISO 10,000.

As for the badger… looking healthy, and putting on weight for winter 😉

A Few More Badger Photos

The foxes may be being elusive, but the badgers are doing their level best to compensate. Here’s a few shots taken last night.

Today was relatively quiet, and wet for much of the time. This pretty mallard was possibly the highlight.
