Message: <blockquote data-quote="Farnboro John" data-source="post: 1709251" data-attributes="member: 36432">Nipped out in search of Badgers with the new rig last night - no luck.  I did see a moderately cheeky fox trot right through the sett - they are normally a bit circumspect but I guess in winter the risk is lower.Returning to base I had a quick look up and down the brook for foxes, and found one sitting watching me near the school field.  He sat for three frames (it would have been more if the flash batteries weren't at their last gasp), which I didn't focus very well but which showed the new flash bracket does reduce the "headlight beams" glare effect to something red-eye fixing should cope with.At about three in the morning I was woken by a sharp "rrow rrow rrow" outside the bedroom window and jumped up to see one of a pair of foxes (the other was calling from round the corner of the block) running across our front lawn for a genuine "in the garden" rather than "from the garden" year-tick.  Somehow I couldn't summon the energy to get dressed and pursue them with the camera....John</blockquote>
