Two of the badgers stopping for a few peanuts before leaving the cover of the trees for the open fields.

The stream is a little deeper following the thunderstorm and the badgers were out in the open fields for the first time in months catching earthworms.

I use the Silhouette Portrait which is worth considering as an alternative to the Joy Extra. The standard Silhouette Studio software is good (but not for Linux).

Leaving the camera on a small tripod and the focus to chance helped with getting close up video of a wary badger. The small hedgerow plums were well received.

A big day for the garden ants as the new queens ready themselves for flight and the prize of setting up a new colony.

A few hours ahead of a thunder storm it was cool enough to walk out to check on the badgers. They appeared to be fine despite the dry conditions and were happy to eat a few bonus peanuts at their own steady pace.

🦇 Today is the perfect evening to take part in our #SunsetSurvey and record bats and other wildlife that you find. All you have to do is spend 1h in your garden or local park around sunset and record what wildlife you encounter : www.bats.org.uk/our-work/nat...

The windchill probably kept the earthworms in their burrows last night, the badgers were a little more forward in taking a few peanuts. #mammals

That's an issue with vast monocultures. Food availability for pollinators will be boom and bust.

It is always nice to indulge in some moon watching and the light from a full moon over a calm wintery landscape dusted with snow is extra special.

Badgers emerging into a frosty night, no doubt January will be colder.

A quiet moment with the badgers at the mid point of a winter's walk. Wonderfully peaceful even with the wind blowing strong.

The heterodyne alerts the user to the presence of bats in real time, it is a notification to look about and see a bat that might otherwise be missed. And of course we get the wonderful feeding raspberry in synchronisation with the action.

The rain stopped and the clouds moved away allowing for a magical meet up with the badgers, illuminated with the light from the full moon. #mammals #moon

The light reflected from the rising full moon counters the early arrival of night. One of the first badgers to emerge into the still winter air expertly finds a handful of peanuts by sense of smell.

badgermoon.bsky.social @badgermoon.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

Fingers crossed, I may just be missing him by being in the wrong place, the visits are certainly dark now and that makes seeing them that bit harder let alone picking out who is who. Sorry to hear that Bobby has gone 😟.

badgermoon.bsky.social @badgermoon.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

They do look ready should they have to have an extended sleep-in. I don't think that is Mr A, I haven't been able to pick him out this month, it's not like him to be shy.

The badgers with gifted peanuts, they know the area well and will forage in the sheltered areas later, away from the effects of the frost.

Mr Arbuckle taking an interest in some peanuts, even if he is probably already at his pre-winter comfort weight. A hand coloured infra red photograph.

So this is my new Winter / Christmas scene this year, this urban moving into rurual Winter landscape which is die cut and features a separate stand up hare and fox. It is large at 59cm long x 21cm high and folds up so you can post it in a C5 envelope. Price £9. www.johnbloor.co.uk/collections/...

Good question, earthworms vanish into their burrows as I approach but have never waited to see how long before they resume feeding. Gulls do a clever tap dance to trick the worms to emerge so it is complex. Not sure about artificial lighting, the torch (to avoid snails) brings a big & sudden change.

badgermoon.bsky.social @badgermoon.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

The rain has brought earthworms to the surface and the badgers are working the fields. Vibration from footsteps (or light from a torch) will send the worm back underground but badgers are experts. #mammals

It was and still is common in magazines, shutter speed and lens focal length and aperture can be of interest to other photographers akin to screen mesh size, ink and paper choice. Camera manufacturer tags are generally meaningless.

Volume on! (Sound is straight from bat, no detector or amp!). This little Whiskered bat was found roosting on Holland & Barrett's door, Honiton. The species is always full of rage! (Maybe he wanted a calming herbal tea?). Safely released. #bats #wildlife #nature @batconservation.bsky.social

Might be a food cache, digging there simply because it is suitable soft ground.

There are no plum trees in the hedges near Mr Arbuckle so I bring him some seasonal windfalls, he clearly enjoys them. #mammals

A damp day and some light drizzle on the walk back from the badgers, enough to bring a few toads out.

Thank you John and Alice for producing such great prints and sharing the production stages and methods. It brings much joy and encouragement to many people.

A cloud did a good job of hiding the moon for a while but in the end the two worked together and created a delicately soft light show.

A little bit early in the evening for the #badger cub to leave the safety of the sett entrance but a stretch to reach an offered peanut is in order. #mammals

The young starlings crowded around the bowls of water put out on the garden table for starling style squabbling bathing. I think they enjoyed themselves.

The lovely @braintreemuseum.bsky.social has an exhibition of Toys and Games which includes perhaps the best display of #Brendatoys soft toys in recent times. Last day is Saturday 28th. Brenda Cheese deserves to be better known for her work.

If the cub was at a sett, they don't move just yet, and it was near sunset (the shadows suggest otherwise) then it is possibly ok but it would be good to watch the area again to be sure all was well. Suffolk badger group may be able to help if no one else can watch.

badgermoon.bsky.social @badgermoon.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

Two cubs have made their appearance at the sett, one is more adventurous than the other and will even jab at the much bigger adult badgers if they are in the way.
