Badger's back!

Despite a large building project to the back of the garden, there have been some suspicious little dents n the lawn, so I put out the camera trap for the first time this year.

And here is what it caught

It is very difficult to identify badgers as individuals or even to assign a gender but this does not seem to be the big old female who dominated the garden by the end of last year. This may, however, be one of last year's cubs. We shall keep watching.

The little dents in the lawn are 'whiffle holes' a characteristic sign of badger activity and indicating where they have located and extracted a worm.
