Badger fun and chaos
I have related to one or two of my friends and relatives the story of our garden badgers. This was taken just over a year ago in our back garden. I had decided to get a wild-life camera that was triggered by a movement sensor with an infra-red light after our garden was being continually wrecked during the evenings. One year on and our lawns still gets pulled apart every few days. The idea of the camera was to see what was doing the damage. They never come during the day and we do not feed them, although tempted, as you can imagine. I think this trio was a mother and two cubs. At first we thought them very cute but after wrecking two of our lovely lawns we now view these slightly differently. We think they have a sett somewhere near our railway linear park walk but they can range miles for food. I imagine that they pull away the top layer of soil and grass to get at worms and grubs. - This camera does capture in colour but during the night with this light it defaults to monochrome. Sorry no sound.
Enjoy full screen.

Its difficult to blame the animal though - they're just doing what comes naturally - not that that is much help to you.
