The jockeying for garden domination continues. The nightly trail cam footage shows the foxes tending to visit in pairs, while the badgers are mainly lone foragers. Some nights the foxes dominate the footage; on others its the badgers. There's no real pattern but certainly enough evidence of activity to keep me interested as the night time temperatures begin to drop.<\/p>\n

The first photo is Shy Boy, taken in the early hours of Thursday morning. Without doubt he's the friendliest of the foxes. Whether he'll be able to stake a claim of garden ownership over the winter months is another matter; but for now he's probably the most frequent of the visiting foxes.

Shy Boy may find he has competition from the more established inhabitants, and specifically Shutterbug. He's also a regular, but tends to pass through the garden, or (as tonight) uses it as a place of rest and relaxation. These days he tends to ignore my presence entirely. He has the established territorial rights, but may already have a wider range.

As for the badgers, the older badger who I called 'Lumpy' hasn't been seen for about a week now and I do fear the worst. The young badgers are still visiting, and one of them at least is now reasonably comfortable with the camera. These shots were taken this evening, shortly after Shutterbug's visit.
