My neighbor badger

I was trying out my new lens the Tamron 150-600m G2 and I hiked a lot that day, I didn´t see anything. I stopped by a wild Lilly because it smelled beautiful and then I heard a noise coming right at me. A badger came out of the bushes and we looked at each other for a few seconds, I didn´t move and he left sniffing in other direction. I couldn´t believe what happened. I hide in a near bush and I waited for 1,5 hour, I had a feeling he will come back. And he did, with his klan, at one time there were 3 of them in front of me. I took a few shots, the quality isn´t the best because it was dark already. The first 2 images are taken with ISO 1600 and the rest with ISO 2000. The next day I went back to make a short video footage too. Enjoy!
