New kid on the block

The foxes are really taking over. This is a new visitor come to sample my cuisine. He obviously enjoyed it because he is outside my window enjoying tonights menu.

So far there is only one badger, I wonder how long it will be before the numbers increase to compete with the foxes.
 

Fox visit

I am trying to make my animal pictures more interesting. I am feeding them in different parts of the garden to get better backgrounds. This is junior having a look round.

After a feed he settles down for his rest. I like the position he chose mimmicing the bird bath with a twisted body shape. The badger also called but he moved around a lot and spoiled his pictures. Still, I have set it all up again so we will see what tonight brings.
 

Badger visit

As I was getting ready for bed last night the security light outside my window came on. It was placed there to tell me if any animals were in the garden. I grabbed my camera and quickly set it up for night photography switched the light off and drew the curtains and this is what I saw. I expected it to dash off but to my surprise it just carried on sniffing around.

It did glance up at me so it knew I was there. It spent about 10 minutes munching some biscuits that I had left, had a drink of water and ambled off.

The photo's could be better but because of the angle shooting through double glazing I could not get the images sharp but I am pleased with the result. I shall be ready for it tonight.
 

Badger now a regular

I am now concentrating on the badger who seems to be a regular visitor to my supper table. The weather has not been good and it has affected the quality of the pictures, misting up the lens.

He doesn't get on with the foxes so they come at different times, which is unfortunate because they would make lovely pictures together. These two pictures were taken on a damp night with a bit of morning frost. That is my front door you can see in the background. With a bit of luck I may get some better pictures.
