2017 Notes

The badger emergence is around 10.30pm but I have seen badgers and cubs out around 9pm on a windless night.(see badger cub in the video below)
The badger cubs that were in the sett on our northern boundary have moved!! some of them moved to a bigger sett about 75 metres closer to our main sett and the others moved back in to our original main sett.

Our visitors last week from Holland managed to take some super photographs of foxes and badgers many thanks for sharing the photographs with us.

The badgers emerge around 9.30 pm.
Lots of Badger movement, the cubs on our northern boundary together with their parents have moved to a bigger sett situated about 50 metres inside our boundary and can be seen in the first two videos below:

2017 Notes

The badgers were out in daylight last evening, the cete of badgers on our northern boundary have at least 4 cubs, I added another trail camera to the other sett entrance and the videos below will confirm that all the cubs belong in the sett.
Our current visitors managed to see from our “running water” hide two foxes and a badger last night at a range of 3 feet with other badgers and deer also in the seeable area.

The two videos below cover the main entrance to the sett:
