In August last year we ventured down to the Devon Badger Watch on what turned out to be a very wet evening. Since then we have been promising ourselves a trip to the Dorset Badger Watch at Buckland Newton and at short notice, last night turned out to be the night. Although it was a mainly dry evening, the light could have been kinder, but we did manage to make some nice images.
We're not sure how many members there are in this clan, but we saw at least five, of which this is one of the young cubs. We were treated to some good long periods when at least one of the clan was on view from as early as 6:45pm. However, by 10pm they decided we'd had our share of their time and we packed up to leave.
A worthwhile experience that doesn't break the bank, but for photography a few improvements could be made. However the hide is available from 6:30 until midnight and by prior arrangement you can stay there all night to spot other species. If you're thinking of venturing out there, get in touch and we can give you a few useful pointers.
