Badger-Tastic

Last week i was fortunate enough to get up close to badgers for the first time, and to say I was chuffed was an understatement. The evening was even blessed with good light too...always a bonus!

Lucky you.

Another vote for 4 but I do like the 'coming over the brow' shots.

Thanks Guys

Number 4 for me, but 3 is also a good one. I can understand you being chuffed; they are great animals and you got the shots too.

Lovely shots. Slightly jealous, lol - would love to see one. Have only seen roadkilled ones :-(

Love Badgers, they have a slightly mythical feel about them I think.
No.3 for me.

Or ones that have been killed by gamekeepers and then put out on the side of the road to make it look like roadkill

Up until now that was the only time I've seen them sadly

Perhaps we can do an exchange trip, i'll photograph orca and you can photograph badgers in my garden

These will be the type of "gamekeepers" that live in Caravans and wouldnt dream of betting on the outcome of a fight between, say, a dog and a Badger ?

The light in the second image is amazing when coupled with the face of the badger. Thanks for sharing some great shots.

Lovely shots. We go twice a year to the same cottage in Cornwall and the owner,who lives there too gives the guests food,nuts, to put out late evening fir the badgers. We love to watch them.
