Joe Gilhooley LRPS   European Badgers Reflections Including Four Cubs with Adult badger     Monday 18th July 2022 I spent over 6 hours in Ron McCombe's terrific wildlife hide in Scottish Borders. My 11th visit to the badger hide since October 2020. 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. With in being middle of July, the weather was warmer. Cubs were also coming to the area. Less darkness meant visits were more often and nearer together. The summer months have given me the best showing of badgers. Including Cubs. Ron now has a reflection pool right in front of the photography hide. Badgers are showing an interest in it, makes super photographs with badger's reflection in the water. I was thrilled when after a few hours the badgers came to the pool and I got my most wanted Badger Reflections. Biggest bonus was capturing images of four badger cubs with a female adult. The adult badgers from the sett look after all the cubs, not just their own. For this visit. I used my Canon 1dx MkII Camera. Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS II USM Lens. 85 images on this page. All are uncropped and as from camera.
