   It's a nice one too! It looks nice enough to pet, but I suppose that wouldn't be too good an idea, give the badgers rep

   I agree with Robin, but it would be so nice to touch that fur 😀

   Hey,
   I have a suggestion for you, as the foxes and other animals seem to pretty much always appear in the same spot, you could set up a couple of remote flashes, that way you would get way better light setup. Cheap Cactus triggers would work just fine, you would just need a 2nd flash I guess and some way to mount it.

   More info about off-camera flashes can be found at strobist.com, I suggest you take a look there ;]

   Cheers 🙂

   I think badger fur is very coarse actually!

   Lovely photo – she looks great :up:

   Ramunas, you are absolutely right about using remote flashes. It's on my list of equipment to get so one day I'll get round to it. Thanks for the link!

   Robin, I think badgers probably have an unfair reputation but they can be fierce. I can assure you I won't be risking my hand!

   Darko, tempting, but no!

   Adele, I htink she may be the same one as had the scar (in which case it's healing well). There's a roughness to the fur around her front left shoulder in about the right location. Tough critters!
