A big well‑done to Marcus Tyler, this week’s winner, for capturing this brilliant shot of a badger exploring the woodland floor.

Badgers are famous for their incredible underground homes, some setts are so old and well‑built they’ve been used by generations of badger families, with parts dating back centuries!

Could you be next week’s winner? Share your favourite photos on the Pictures of Perth and Beyond and you might be the one we’re celebrating next time.

Following on from a brilliant weekend in Perth, now is the perfect time to look ahead to our next big event in the heart of the city.
