The European badger (Meles meles) also known as the Eurasian badger or simply badger, is a species of badger in the family Mustelidae and is native to almost all of Europe and some parts of West Asia. Several subspecies are recognized; the nominate subspecies (Meles meles meles) predominates over most of Europe. The European badger is classified as being of least concern by the IUCN as it has a wide range and a large population size which is stable, and even increasing in some areas.

More of the baby Green Heron. He’s losing a lot of the fuzz from his head now. The first time I saw him he wasn’t catching much, but I’ve seen him catch a couple dragon flies and a few tiny fish since then so his hunting skills are improving.

The little guy is not very ‘street smart’ yet which is why I’ve managed to get quite a few shots of him. I’ll share a few of the adult Heron too – looks the same but no fuzz and less striping on the chest.


I love him!
