Smelly? How badgers use their noses #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social @badgercrowd.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @loveday-p.bsky.social #wildlife #ukwildlife #badgers

Badger gender - it's hard to decide but hopefully this helps ... or not!! #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social @badgercrowd.bsky.social @nationaltrust.org.uk @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @loveday-p.bsky.social #Badgers #badger #wildlife #ukwildlife youtu.be/8kluDFMgfFU

Fight club - play fighting is an important part of growing up #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @worldwildlife.bsky.social @bbcwildlifetrust.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social #ukwildlife #wildlife @loveday-p.bsky.social

When something encourages you to dig but then you're beset with doubt that you've missed it ... look at that muddy face 😄🦡 #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social #wildlife #ukwildlife #badger

Badgers just being badgers again #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social @badgercrowd.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @loveday-p.bsky.social #badgers #badger #wildlife #ukwildlife

Short video of badgers just being badgers, first time I've seen four together at #poolviewsett so something to smile about @loveday-p.bsky.social @badgertrust.bsky.social @badgercrowd.bsky.social @protectthewild.bsky.social @worldwildlife.bsky.social #wildlife #Badgers

We often see "snuffle holes" where badgers have used their nose to plough into the surface whilst foraging - bring on the demo! #poolviewsett @loveday-p.bsky.social @badgertrust.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @protectthewild.bsky.social @badgercrowd.bsky.social

Caution is important, but when there's the smell of a small cache of peanuts, caution can be overcome #poolviewsett

A badgers sense of smell is a key sense as their eye sight is fairly poor ... this video shows a good example of scenting the air whilst approaching something new #poolviewsett

The longer the trail cam is on #poolviewsett the more we are learning about them ... here we have three of the five members of the clan @badgertrust.bsky.social

The bolder cub re-finds the place where she found the peanuts before and checks out for any she missed whilst the more timid cub looks on from afar and misses out on any treats #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social #badger #badgers #wildlifevideos #wildlifephotography

Scardey badger, there's always one ... not sure about the trail cam so eventually makes a wide detour off the path to get past #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social #badgers

The drought has been really tough on badgers, we've lost many cubs all over the country: recent rain will have improved things with worms coming back closer to the surface but we need more as its still touch and go #poolviewsett @badgercrowd.bsky.social @badgertrust.bsky.social #wildlife #badgers

Good news the South Shropshire badgers at #poolviewsett that were being elusive but have been tracked down, this female can smell the small horde of peanut treats buried by the path but having a trail cam on this sett is new so she is a little unsure #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifevideo

Who can resist a video with badger cubs running past the camera? #poolviewsett @badgertrust.bsky.social @badgercrowd.bsky.social #badger #wildlife #UKWildlife
