fight and face damage...and setting
Bonjour
Two days ago I went to see my badger again. I thought they would not come out but only after 5 minutes two of them came out and then three (Peanuts butter seem to be the silver bullet!)and stay in front of me for about two hours!! That was a 10 gig evening......This is the female that I call “one ear” she seem to have fight at night.....????as her face is getting more and more damage......
Taken with mark 3 and 300mmf2.8 (F5.6) at 640 iso.
Bonne journee a tous

She looks to be a great character Frederic. You have done well to encourage and have the animals trust in your favour. :toast:

The world is a wonderful place; a shame it is being so abused, just like the female badger it seems. Great images.

I think this is the best so far Frederic. Love the eye contact here. That setting really is superb. 10GB... blimey :eek: Are you working with the film stars of the badger world or am I just being overly cautious!? :biggrin: :toast: :toast: :toast:
