Badgers

I have spent some long nights watching Badgers and trying to get good photos of them.

Wet Badger. After bothering to set everything up a little rain doesn't bother me or the badger.

There are a number of problems trying to photograph Badgers. One of the hardest is focusing in the low level of artificial light you set up. A fast lens is needed. The Badgers don't bother about flash units going off and even get used to the noise of the shutter. They will tolerate a certain level of artificial light but soon vanish if they see movement or pick up a scent.
