Nice shot of a badger, Mike. I might think about removing that stick on the right, but other than that you seem to have a great opportunity here.

As David says it is a nice badger shot but it does look a little soft to me. You do not say how much of a crop this is Mike? If it is a crop maybe use a remote switch with your 500mm at ISO 1600 to keep the 1/400. If not go to 1600 f4 on the 300 to increase the DOF a little?

Minor nits covered but a great daylight Badger shot.

Wonderful to get these daylight shots, it does look like you are struggling for light though looking at the camera settings... you do need to be able to stop down slightly to get the best out of a lens, even the legend that is the 300/2.8 so Bobs advice is spot on...
