Jill being amazed by what Brett's phone can really do! (well that's what it looked like!)

The meeting (report to follow) was well attended and wrapped up not too long after 2pm, (although further discussions contined throughout the afternoon) but the main attraction was definitely going to be Badgers!

Coffee imbibed, the tramp round to the badger pen began after Nick (the Hobbs version, as we now have two) turned down Shirley's offer to turn her  (fake) fur lined jacket inside out and pose as Brock for him! A short stop at the Otter pool found the Mustelids well hidden and unwilling to play! With the exception of a rare trip round its aviary by a Raven, there was little else to slow down progress towards the main course!

Brett was already shooting when the coffee lovers arrived!

A good hour was spent photographing their antics as they and we waited for brekky to arrive. Jill was warned that she would get her foot stuck if she used the fence to improve her height ratio, but would she listen? The clatter was her camera going over the fence as she lost her balance, but fortunatelythe camera survived, as it was only the outer pailing fence and there was an amount of soft vegetation to save too much damage. (Oh yes, Jill was OK too!)

Grooming sometimes turned into light fisticuffs
