Badgers and Partridge

Image
July 2017 Spending a bit of time on badgers this year, and not really come together.They come out as it gets dark----When I am there-when I'm not around they are out at seven,typical! nothing wrong with the set up or hide ,just bad luck, as rabbits and partridges are coming to within a couple of feet of me in the hide. And as July wears on the nights start drawing in ,this could be another work in progress carried over into next year.                                                       European badger, Meles meles                                                                          Red legged Partridge, Alectoris rufa                                            www.carlmckienaturephotography.com #badger. #Meles meles. #mammal. #wildlife. #nature. #Partridge. #red legged partridge. #bird. #game bird. #carlmckienaturephotography
