Badgers and Kingfishers

While being back in dorset, I am on a mission to photograph badgers and possibly a kingfisher.

For the badgers, I am using a set of infrared triggers to fire the camera. I have a set near-by and I am setting the camera up every evening, around 6 oclock, along one of the most commonly used paths. Using peanuts in a submerged jam jar attracts the badgers and hopefully through the triggers.

I have had a few attempts so far. On the first night nothing triggered. Last night the infrared triggers were cold and stopped working. Tonight, the triggers are out and again on a very commonly used path. Using trial and error I am going to find methods that work best and I will post images as and when and actually if I ever get them!!!

But here are some randoms anyway!

Last Day of Cornwall

Today was my last day in cornwall for this term. Hopefully when I get back it will be truly Summer and a season of Basking sharks and Sunfish hunting will commence. Today I went to a location I have been looking at for part of my current uni project:

'Natural behaviour of Cornwall's Grey Seals in and out of the water, and the human impact upon them'

I shot for the human impact section today as the foam on the surface of the water creates the appearance of pollution.
I am currently unsure as to the number of seals in the area. Around 3 possibly 4, although only one was surfacing at any one time!

Afterwards we spent a small amount time at Marazion Marsh 'failing to see a Bitten'
