Joe Gilhooley LRPS   European Badgers   Including badgers at Reflection Pool     Thursday 1st September 2022 I spent over 7 hours in Ron McCombe's terrific wildlife hide in Scottish Borders. My 12th 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 early September , there was starting to get more dark hours and it was not cold. This year's cubs are coming to the area as are adult badgers. Ron 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 the badgers came to the pool and I got my most wanted Badger Reflections. For this visit. I used my Canon 1dx MkII Camera. Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS II USM Lens. Sometimes at reflection pool, the 100-400 lens was back at 200mm. I use minus one stop exposure compensation so not to burn out the white on badger's face. I took over 500 badgers photos and kept almost 100 images that are on this page. All are uncropped and as from camera.
