Pure luck, err, I mean talent. Finding a suitable image was pure luck, blending the two together was a few minutes with a soft edged clearing brush. Roughly like this:
Load the image of the moor into photoshop
Load the badger into a second layer
Decrease the opacity of the badger layer so I could see through it, and move it to the right place
Use a soft edged brush in clear mode to expose the underlying picture in the right places and blend the two together smoothly
Use a soft edged brush and the eye dropper to repair the badger's jaw a little (the A had covered it slightly
Stick the badger layer back to full opacity and save the image
