Bolder Badgers !




As Darkness fell we had another visit from a pair of local Badger that were first seen a couple of nights ago rooting around the fall out zone of a sunflower hearts bird feeder in our garden.

They appear to be getting bolder as when they arrived a bit early we had external and internal lights on and our lounge patio doors wide open with the TV on but undeterred they just carried on foraging in the same areas as on previous nights.

I was set up for and looking to capture images of the pair interacting but this was easier said than done as they tended to work their way around our garden independent of each other but I will have to see if I can tempt them closer together with a couple of nutty treats tonight.










Between 8 and 11 PM last night we had two Badgers, Three cat including our own recently adopted stray and two fairly mature Fox Cubs foraging around our garden and it was interesting to watch the changes to the pecking order as they came close to each others locations.



The powerful new-comer Badgers ruled the roost,  The Cats all kept their distance from the Badgers but stayed in the area if they wanted too and the Fox cubs gave way to all and left each time there was an encounter with Cats or Badgers only to return again as soon as they thought that the garden might be clear.
