Badger close up


Thanks to Iain Toombs' kindness, I spent a couple of unforgettable evenings in one of his hides, specifically designed for observing and photographing Badgers. Positioned just 7 feet away, I was able to witness a family of Badgers in their natural habitat. The highlight of the evening was an older cub, who ventured close enough for me to capture some incredible images.

Photographing Badgers presents several challenges due to their nocturnal and secretive nature. Patience is key, as these animals are wary of humans. The use of hides is essential to avoid disturbing their natural behaviour and to get close enough for detailed shots.

More to follow.
