This badger has an embarrassing moment as it falls off a tree branch in the middle of the night. The clumsy cub was caught out by a remote trigger camera in a private woodland in Shropshire.
Wildlife photographer Richard Bowler said, “I followed the progress of four rescued badgers as they returned to the wild using a camera trap.”
“The badger struggled to grip with its paws as it attempted to climb onto the trunk. That was its first and only attempt to climb the fallen tree branch.”
“There were no other badgers present prior to the cubs being released which is why this private location was chosen. This is also to protect them from culling and illegal persecution.”
“Before release, the cubs were tested for and vaccinated against bTB to ensure they pose no threat to the farming community.”

As I said when uploading the images I'd only give the location as private Shropshire woodland, to protect the badgers from the cull and illegal persicution.
There were no badgers present prior to releasing the cubs, that is why the location was chosen for the release site. I followed the badgers progress up until early this year.
Jammy dodgers are also a favourite for badgers, but it has to be remembered its not a healthy diet for the badgers, used sparingly it does no harm. Whenever I visited the location I also left some healthy food for them. Peanuts, corn on the cob, dog or cat biscuits, just enough to help them if they were struggling to find food naturally.

Rescued five-day-old Badger cub, Torquay, Devon, Britain - 05 Feb 2009
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Austin / Rex Features ( 846262f )
If you find yourself stuck outside in the current cold snap, spare a thought for this little lady. The tiny young brock was found abandoned in the freezing cold and on the brink of death just five days after being born. Fortunately the minute female cub, like many youngsters, was vocal enough for a local resident in Torquay, Devon, to hear her whimpers, leading to her being found neglected and unloved on the top of a badger sett. She was rescued and taken to the Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre in Somerset where carers have nursed her back to health and given her a fitting name: Snowdrop.

Orphaned Badger Cub at Secret World Wildlife Centre, Somerset, Britain - 15 Apr 2008
BABY BADGERS GIVEN A HELPING HAND
These tiny black and white bundles are the first of the many orphaned baby badgers who will pass through the doors of the Secret World Wildlife Centre in Somerset.
Thankfully, here at the centre the tiny creatures will get all the care and attention that they need before being released fit and healthy into the wild.
Secret World can care for up to 50 badger cubs; as each one arrives they get a set of ready made brothers and sisters by being placed in family groups.
When it comes time for them to be released, these groups will be released as one unit to live together in the wild.
Each year there is normally at least one group of baby badgers that are still classed as 'milk feeders' and who are reared in wildlife expert Pauline Kidner's kitchen. As such, these little bundles are known collectively as the 'Kitchen Crew'.
Meanwhile, this playful threesome is being reared under the watchful eye of Danielle De Backker, who is on placement to the centre from Holland.
The Secret World Wildlife centre runs a special adopt a badger program to help fund its work as the largest badger rearing unit in Britain. For more details: www.secretworld.org.

Thankfully, here at the centre the tiny creatures will get all the care and attention that they need before being released fit and healthy into the wild.
Secret World can care for up to 50 badger cubs; as each one arrives they get a set of ready made brothers and sisters by being placed in family groups.
When it comes time for them to be released, these groups will be released as one unit to live together in the wild.
Each year there is normally at least one group of baby badgers that are still classed as 'milk feeders' and who are reared in wildlife expert Pauline Kidner's kitchen. As such, these little bundles are known collectively as the 'Kitchen Crew'.
Meanwhile, this playful threesome is being reared under the watchful eye of Danielle De Backker, who is on placement to the centre from Holland.
The Secret World Wildlife centre runs a special adopt a badger program to help fund its work as the largest badger rearing unit in Britain. For more details: www.secretworld.org.

Animal Magic - The Work Of Richard Austin
ANIMAL MAGIC - THE WORK OF RICHARD AUSTIN
Richard Austin is known throughout the photography world as one of the best in the business at capturing unique animal images. So far he has released four books showcasing some of his work, including 'Animal Magic' and 'Dogs and Puppies'.
Richard started off as newspaper photographer, but whose brighter pictures began to creep into his work as they became a more popular alternative to the typical "gloom and doom" stories he found himself stuck with.
"I've always been interested in wildlife, ever since I was a kid. My heroes were the Daily Mirror's Arthur Sidey and the Daily Mail's Mike Hollist - they were really good animal photographers. I remember some cracking images that they took and I was always attracted to that."
Although he is perhaps more associated with cute images of piglets in deckchairs or lambs playing with ducklings, plenty of his photography is of animals in the wild in their natural habitats.
However, he is quick to point out the difference between his work and that of a National Geographic photographer for example:
"There's wildlife photography and then there's animal photography," said Richard, "I'm not the kind of photographer that sits down a rabbit hole for three days with a couple of cheese sandwiches and a flask of coffee. I've got to know that something's happening somewhere. The most I'll give it is an hour. And if nothing's happened I'll go and come back again later.
"There are some great wildlife photographers out there but I try to aim for more comical pictures that people might find more attractive"
This may dispel a few myths about photographing animals: while some purists will be making those cheese...

Orphaned badger triplets, Secret World Animal Rescue Centre, Britain - 08 Mar 2007

Orphaned badger triplet cubs are the first of this year's baby animals to come into the Secret World Animal Rescue Center. Their future may well be in doubt with the call for culling of badgers in the South West by farmers worried over the TB crisis which has in some quarters been blamed on the badger population.
