You lucky ***. This time of year they are more active so a better chance of seeing them.... not that I ever did. This is a great shot.

that's nice. I wonder if you can do more to reduce the highlights on the head?

Thats a nice one, as mentioned a shame about the highlights on the head, if you shot in RAW you may have some headroom to pull detail back there.... I like the composition and indeed great to get one out in the daytime...

Very nice badger Mike. Such difficult animals to capture, but in the middle of the day? Neil is spot on! As previously mentioned, I'd try and recover the detail in the highlights on the head. Otherwise, very jealous!

I've lost count of the hours I've spent at my local set waiting, waiting and waiting for the Badgers to appear.

Really like this Mike - nits covered, but one of your best imo.

What a cracking image of Brock! He looks kinda sleepy doesn't he? Me thinks someone set the alarm clock wrong!
