Don't know how long is long, but I've lost count on the hours I spent trying to photograph these badgers in daylight. Sadly, I'm still no closer today than when I first started some centuries ago, in getting 'the twins' in the same frame. This is the bolder of the two, called Boris (not really, I made that up :biggrin: ).

Thanks for looking.

D700, 200mm (I think I've paid my dues to get this close), f4, ISO800.

Frustrating aren't they ! Have been trying to photograph a pair for ages too. They come out about an hour after dark!

I like this Des, it shows their environment very well.

Still a great shot Des.
I reckon one of the hardest animals to photograph!

I like this a lot. Nice to see some environment in a badger image.
