The thing with badgers is that they never forget. They know their area and roam miles at night. I leave out peanuts and apple. Sometimes leave out an egg. If the badgers don't come, the birds eat the apple and peanuts. Nothing goes wasted.

A lovely active badger sett entrance at a recent sett check., Smooth tunnel roof & walls from regular activity, bedding present and can you also spot the green grass that’s been taken in?

Yes badgers are almost always nocturnal (tho' cubs pop out in daylight when they get old enough to explore their sett's surroundings).
But Brock is a unique badger in so many ways 🖤🤍 We love him...

2/2 …become craneflies. This badger was enjoying something a little different… a Weetabix! While we always try to match their natural diet, we can’t quite enough earthworms! As you can see, the Weetabix was a definite success. 🥰 #Brocktober #Badgers #Lovebadgers @badgertrust.bsky.social

It's National Badger Day today, and what better way to celebrate than with this amazing trail camera footage! 🤩 Watch this trio of badgers having a proper play-fight.

This extended dry weather (driest few months for decades!!) is bad news for badgers and wildlife. Please put water out if you can! #LoveBadgers

This Woodland Trust bluebell wood hides a quiet tragedy.
Two thriving badger setts—now empty.
The cull spreads beyond boundaries. Even protected sites aren’t safe.
Badgers deserve better.
It’s time to #EndTheCull.

Badgers are under attack.
Culled, crushed by roads, and losing habitat fast. These native animals shape ecosystems—we need them.
Protecting badgers means fighting for wild Britain.
They can’t speak, but you can.

At just before midnight on Friday, I spotted a notification on my phone. One of our badgers had arrived. So, I hit record on my cameras. 😊

During most of the year, I have badgers visiting my garden but there's nothing better than seeing them by their Sett just doing a bit of self care and grooming. #LoveBadgers #LoveWildlife #Badgers
