Foraging at Night


Before the recent bad weather conditions I built a new tree trunk prop in my garden to try to enhance the spectacle of foraging fox and badgers that visit on a nightly basis and last night I got my first chance to use it.

Both of these subjects tend to visit in the first hour or so after dark so quite often bump into each other.

The meeting is not friendly between these rivals who both tend to nip at each other from behind and on one occasion after receiving a bite to its back leg the Badger double back-heeled the Fox several feet into the air.

Since then the Fox tends to come in earlier to forage then backs off when the more powerful Badger arrives and returns very quickly once it has gone to clean up any missed tit bits.
