badger head!
Bonjour
Yesterday I went to see how my badger were doing.....They are so “imprevisible” ....sometimes they come out at 18h00 sometimes they do not come out at all!!! At the moment I have seen 2 female and one cub coming out of the den. I think that they are more of them inside the den....time will tell.
At the base of the tree there is a little hole more or less 10cm by 12cm and I decided last evening to place a few peanuts (12of them to be REALLY precise) near that hole hoping for one of the cub to pop his head out of there. I was really surprise when one of the female head pop out of that hole and started to stare at me....taken with 1D MARK 3, 300MM F6.3,1.4X,1250 ISO.
A bientot et bonne journee a tous

I was worried about what I was going to see when | read the title... An impressive shot and one that should make children everywhere believe in fairy tales about little houses under the roots of big old trees. :biggrin:

Another nice one.

Having not been about for a couple of weeks I'm playing catch up going through the pics I've missed and i'm so glad i found this one. Started laughing as soon as it opened. Very well caught.
