Nice capture Mark, I've never seen these in the wild, it must be quite exciting seeing them up that close, well done.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. It really is amazing to see these in the wild. As they make their way up to the entrance you can hear them and that is a great feeling of excitement.
Mark.

Two very nice shots of a rather rare animal. Not surprised that you found it to be such an 'amazing wildlife experience'. Not many of us will manage such a good shot of a badger. Very well done.

Thanks John. You are not going to believe this.... I have found a further two Setts very near to this one (It's an invasion!) Obviously this area has something that badgers like.

Thanks for the compliment PMG.
Too late I'm afraid. The badgers know all about the peanuts so now they're visiting the Sett from miles around. The peanuts are the best investment toward my photography so far though.
