I had never seen a badger before and this is the first I ever photographed!
He or she was not totally cooperative and left pretty quick, but I snapped a few photos!
Check out the claws on this guy or gal!
I see you lady from the safety of my culvert. I will put some grass right in front of my face just to irritate you!

I like 1 and 2 especially!
Some great shots and a real memory.
Congratulations, Beth, a first excellently done.
OUTSTANDING captures... A Badger is NOT to be fooled with ! You were VERY fortunate to get those shots.... Very well done !
Be happy she chose to go away from you. They can be mean!
Nice series. Be careful as they can be vicious and "rip you a new one" with their claws.
very very cool,love the 2nd from last,he looks comfortable

Cool! Those claws really are impressive. I believe badgers can be quite fierce.
Great images of an allusive creature. . . .
Good shot. I hope you were well away from it. They are not friendly.
