Badgers, Dursley, Gloucestershire, August-September 2014

A few more shots of badgers; some by the pond and a few close-ups.

Badgers, Dursley, Gloucestershire, July 2014

I have been photographing badgers in Dursley again. The adults have been very shy but one of this year's cubs was very cooperative; for each of three evenings in a row I managed to capture nearly 100 pictures of him (or her). Light rain on the second evening made for some more interesting shots after getting under a waterproof sheet and putting plastic bags over all my flashlights!

Over the next fortnight, I took some further shots with a log which were also successful.

These were a few shots taken without flash.

Finally, I went back to flash and the pond. This was one rather shy adult.

Cornwall, June 2014

The best pictures are often taken around dawn or dusk. In June this is a tall order if you want to catch both but I did manage to rise very early on some mornings during my week's stay in Cornwall. The holiday was based in Mousehole.

A couple of early-morning shots of St Michael's Mount:

A couple of seascapes at Porth Nanven near St Just:
