ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The badger is most of the time a very secretive and shy animal. Few of us will have the opportunity to see it during the day. It is mainly active during the night, and I wanted to capture the essence of this animal, walking discreetly at night for food. Beneath these trees and ivy, he comes to look for berries. It's the first time in five years that it has come in front of my camera trap.
