Re: Hello from me - where have you been all my life!

Hi BW

Thanks for you welcome. Yes, I can normally manage the creeping up bit although it's more like creaking up these days. In the past I have often baited a sett with dried fruit some days before hand which always seems to work a treat. However, I have access to a very large, old sett which is also very isolated. I would really like to be able to get some real close ups on video and DSLR. I have never used a hide before. In fact I have been amazed at just how much you can get away with when watching Badgers - I have had them literally running circles around me in broad daylight. However I am assuming from your nickname that you have a passion for Badgers. do you have any advice on how best to film/photgraph them? Are they sensitive to camera noise.

On another note, I used to have the Badger bible some years back by (I think) Ernest Neil. I have since lost the book. Has it been bettered or do I need to find another copy.

Many thanks
