Badger for tea ? ! ?

Badger for tea ? ! ? by eNil.
A rare shot (at twilight) of one of the badgers that frequent my brother's garden.
Pretty grainy but the light was poor - hence the 1600 iso and 1/6 sec, f5.6 exposure (handheld 200mm focal length - breath-held too ! )

What a great, rare find!
Maybe a bit later there was a little gathering in the garden's corner for Ratty, Mole and Mr.Toad as well. :D

Oh how lucky you are. I've never seen a badger, unless you count roadkill :(

Soooooo jealous, I only ever see them dead at the side of the road and they're one of my favourite native animals.

They are such gentle, snuffling creatures - until they get angry - then teeth, claws and much throwing around of weight !
I am glad you all like my blurry attempt :-D
