More Fox and badger Pix

By Words | Published August 27, 2012

It's becoming a little predictable, but in a good way. The first visitor tonight was Shy Boy, the young fox.

Shortly after he departed to explore the neighbouring gardens, a young badger showed up. It's still cautious, and any fast movement is likely to scare it off, but with care (and a handful of peanuts) it will happily put up with the camera. The other reason for my own caution are those claws (see third photo). I would not want to tangle with those.
