Well it's taken some time, but two brief sightings tonight of one of our badgers produced a single photo.
The trail cam does rather better though, and here's another 'fox and badger' encounter from last night.
Camera note: photo taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens. Trail cam footage from the Bushnell Trophy Cam.

6 Aug 2012Now the badger will start to appear during the day, being not afraid of you :up:

6 Aug 2012That's great trailcam footage of the badger. Poor fox – very much mission impossible! Nice still photo too. They're so ridiculously hard to get.

8 Aug 2012Darko, that would be nice, though it won't come in the day. They are much more nocturnal than foxes.

8 Aug 2012dW, foxes will usually steer clear. Fights are more common when there are new-borns around.

8 Aug 2012Adele, the badgers have been a real treat this year. Plus so many foxes. It's getting crowded out there!
