Not really a pet or an exotic, but I have just discovered that we have a family of badgers living in the overgrown bit at the back and side of our house Very Happy

So this evening I spent about two hours freezing and patiently playing statues in the garden with my trusty camera.

My reward for my patience can be seen below Confused

Who'd photograph wildlife eh?????

The problem is that the camera is only focusing on the torchlight so it attaches itself to the first thing it spots which is the leaves Confused

I'll keep trying, I am baiting them with chicken so hopefully they will get used to me being in the same spot and come a bit closer Wink

Yeah, it's the baby brother of your camera but I can't hold the torch and focus in the time I have before they move off.

I'll get em soon!!

Thats the spirit..maybe worth pre focusing on a spot where you think they are going to appear..then just take the shot when in desired position..

The worst bit is that you can hear them clearly and they sound like they are really close then when you turn the light on...no sight of them. I could get obsessed I just know it Laughing
