Another Badger Photo Special

We're tripping over badgers these days. Well, not quite, but they are visiting nightly; and while not exactly confident at least one of the younger ones is getting used to our presence. These shots were taken in the early hours on Monday morning.

The foxes are still around and making regular trail cam appearances. If I don't manage any photos soon, I'll put a short edit together from the clips.

    Badger is eating all the food you've left, this is why foxes don't come around :sherlock:

    As for black/white colour, this morning I've seen a huge skunk feeding on garbage because someone forgot to close the box :irked: :awww:

    Skunks gotta eat, too.

    You were saving that garbage for a higher purpose?

    😆

    But yes, urban wildlife will appear wherever garbage isn't secured. It's one of the universal constants of ecology :right:

    More awesome badger shots, Words! :up:

    Adele, thanks! And spot on about rubbish and wildlife. Frankly they just keep the place clean.

    dW, they adore peanuts (and peanut butter). And best of all, cats hate them!

    Darko, nice to see a skunk, but don't startle it :yuck: The foxes are having to compete for food, which is really how it should be.

    Darko, it's the gulls that raid all our garbage.
