All badgers shots are good in my opinion...mainly as I have none! :) Love it, would love the chance to take some.
Mike that looks good to me it looks like a nice open sett,i have got a good one but it's right in the bottom of a deep dyke which makes it a bit difficult,pleased yours has worked for you,fine shot!

Great capture Mike Maybe push the ISO to get the shutter speed and f up a bit to help the DOF and sharpness. I have the same set up as you and would be using a minimum of ISO 800 more like 1200 in that light as the MK4 can take it. Also if another badger comes out and they start squabbling (I always expect the unexpected) you are left short of shutter speed
Great moment. I'm jaleous. I've been waiting several times at at badgerhome but no luck. They haved moved now. So I'll have to look for another one.
Wel done.

Great shot. If it were mine I think I would want to clone out that spot on the white between the eyes.
