Battling with the badger

 Here it comes across the garden at the front of my house.
Getting nearer, always on the move which makes photography in this light difficult.
It passes right in front of the camera outside my window but still too fast for a good shot. I shall just have to keep on trying till one of us gets it right.

    Hi Mike. It's great to see that you are still capturing the wildlife on your camera. I'm pleased to report that we are still seeing the occasional Hedgehog and last night I'm relatively sure that we had two of them.

    Keep up the good work, and take great care in these difficult times. Best wishes - - - Richard

      Hi Richard,
      Over the years air polution in my village has driven away the small birds, we don't even have house sparrows any more so I do my best to look after the animals.
      Look after the hedgehog and he will look after the garden.
      Stay safe, Mike.

    He have a hedgehog coming into our garden at the moment. No pictures yet, but I know it's a hedgehog because of its poo. I'm sad like that Mike.

      We all have our own methods of identification Phil. Stay safe. Mike.

About Me

My photo
Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
