Joe Gilhooley Photography European Badgers   Monday 13th September 2021 - I spent about 6 hours in Ron McCombe's terrific wildlife hide in Scottish Borders. Ron has set it up to bring European Badgers to the area. Takes patience as badgers can come at any time. Their sense of hearing is acute so you have to keep very still and quiet. Well worth contacting Ron McCombe and booking a slot. Or in his wildbirds hide. Both hides are heated and Ron gives very useful photography assistance. Badgers came to the area , about 20 metres from me, numerous times. At some points there were three at the same time. Here are 178 images I captured. I used a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS II USM Lens and a Canon 1.4 Mk III extender (converter) attached . This gave a zoomed in focal length of 560mm. Canon Camera 1DX MK II camera with ISO up at 5000. I also removed the Canon 1.4 Mk III extender (converter) and took more images of badgers. The ones without the converter are higher up on this page. It may just be me. I feel the images with the converter attached to lens are just a bit softer focus. Ones with converter are indicated and found further down this page.
