Foraging
Taken in April, 2018
European Badger [Meles meles] at The Pixies.
On a dull, rainy day at The Pixies - a mile down my track where I feed the birds, this wee guy was foraging for fallen nuts and seeds. Because the burn (stream) was in spate, he/she was unable to hear my car approaching and, since they are not renounced for visual acuity, I assume was unable to see me (or the car!) so was unconcerned and carried on as though no one was watching... I was able to watch for quite some time and was thrilled to have some time with this little sweetie.
