Patchy attendance

The behaviour has slightly changed over the last couple of nights with only one badger coming to visit on Tuesday evening and just two on Wednesday. Prior to that one would appear and then the others would follow but on Tuesday the lone badger had the entire box to itself. On Wednesday the two of them appeared together just after 20:00 and there was a comfortable arrangement as one went around eating the peanuts the other worked its way through the dog food in the badger box. Strangely the one eating the loose peanuts seemed to lay down and just moved its head lazily back and forth. It was obviously quite relaxed. It will be interesting to see just how early they get in their visits as it gets dark earlier and earlier. In just two weeks their visiting times have moved forwards by 90 minutes. Despite all the food being put out they obviously cannot resist the hunt for a worm or two as there are still craters being dug in the lawn on a regular basis.
