Badger....
Bonjour
Yesterday I went to see my badger set under that massive oak tree. They are two exit of that tree. One under the tree and one about two foot from the ground in the tree. I wanted to take a picture with the 70-200 showing the badger coming out of the tree but I was surprise when he came out from the other entrance...I had to change lenses and used my 300mm. The young’s are still not coming out of the tree but I can eared them making all kind of noise in the tree....I can`t wait.
This picture was taken with the 300mmf4.5, 2000iso, and mark 3 Canon
Bonne jounee

Super shot Frederic. Any day now you should see the cubs for the first time.

Hi Frederic,

This is a lovely shot, although in my opinion it may look better with less out-of-focus tree and grass in the foreground and lower right hand side. I'm looking forward to seeing more shots from these :smile:

Cheers,

Dan.

Great shot, I agree with Dan about the OOF part of the image, but then it's a far better shot then anything I've got! :toast:

I like the comp Frederic. Somebody said on here recently that we maybe try to hard to fill the frame. I like it as it is.
