Badgers about the house

摘要

We're taking a shortcut through darkening woods to the still-shining river, wading down through wild garlic, which scents the evening air. Being out and about with wildlife photographer Laurie Campbell involves taking the road less travelled. He doesn't rush from A to B: you'd miss too much along the way. He stops suddenly to pick up a badger hair - it's coarse, with a black band and white tip - and crouches to study the prints in the soft mud. There's a wide pad and a straight row of five forward-facing toes... definitely badger.
