Night Visitor

[Brom]

We put a video camera in the garden to see what came visiting at night and this fella turned up. I knew that there was a badgers sett about half a mile from us and was hoping they wouldn't visit. So far the lawn and veggie patch are untouched, here's hoping it stays that way.
The video was taken with an infra red camera which accounts for the poor quality.

Oh lucky you - I love badgers.

There seem to be loads of badgers in this area. Played merry hell in the chicken shed of a friend last year.

Ooh I love badgers too. How exciting to catch one on camera!

I love to see them too, but they can do so much damage to lawns and gardens.
We have lots of other wildlife here, Foxes, Deer, Stoats as well as the usual bird population, but very few Rabbits (possibly because of the stoats). It's not unusual to see Deer at the bottom of the garden on early summer mornings, beautiful, I could watch them all day.

Took this about 2 weeks ago...

Cool - I've never seen a badger before. We live near the Badja River, and that is named for early settlers who thought the wombat might be a badger. Head is nothing the same, but I'm guessing in the dark you don't notice things like that so much
