We’re thrilled to have teamed up with pro-photographer Alan Seymour, just back from photographing tigers in atmospheric India. Alan is a long-term supporter of LBG and will be running a special workshop on animal photography.

We are delighted to be hosting this event with Alan and are sure it will be as enjoyable as it is informative. Alan is still working on the content but we expect the event to cover;

Slideshow of Alan’s wildlife work.
How to approach a sett, signs to look for,
How to photograph badgers, using an everyday set up of DSLR and flash.
How to focus in the dark,
Using a DSLR camera trap. Note: although easily available, the camera trap Alan will show is likely to be the only equipment photographers are not familiar with.
Alan will have a couple of setups in place to help explain how he captures his extraordinary images, not just once but time and time again.

Questions are invited throughout the afternoon in what will be a relaxed event.

Depending on time and people’s interest, Alan may also show another slide show of his work – photographing tigers over the last 5 years.

Please note that places are limited, book today to guarantee your attendance.

The time is still to be confirmed, but likely to be around 12.30pm to 4pm.
Please register your interest via events@lancashirebadgergroup.org.uk.

MORE EVENTS

Learn About Badgers!

A badger sett is a system of tunnels and nesting chambers lined with bedding such as grass, moss and leaves.

Cubs are normally born in February, and the average number in a litter is three, although the range can be from one to five.

Badgers are considered omnivorous, although their diet varies so much in different countries they are also sometimes termed ‘local specialists’.

Badgers live mainly in woods and copses in extensive underground burrow systems called setts.

Badgers are shy, nocturnal animals that live in underground chambers connected by a network of tunnels known as a sett.

Did You Know?

It has been estimated that up to 50,000 badgers may be killed on our roads each year. If safe to do so, it is worth checking what appears to be a dead badger.

Snares can do serious damage to skin tissue which is not immediately obvious.

Badger cubs begin to explore above ground in May, sometimes without mum’s permission!

Try not to cause the animal alarm, but observe from a distance.
