Description
A badger on the hunt for something to eat!Shot at BWC Surrey last weekend but only just getting the chance to sort through my RAW files. Enjoy!
Badger - Meles meles
Length 80-95cm
Recognised by black-and-white facial stripes. Common, but unobtrusive and largely nocturnal habits make it easy to overlook. With care, easily watched emerging from underground sett at dusk. Very fond of peanuts but slugs and earthworms important in natural diet. Found in mainland Britain and Ireland.

No not yet. I decided when I was there that I really must do one, I want to get close to those foxes. Maybe next year I'll get a chance, can't see it happening before then.
