As the evenings get lighter the sightings improve and we've now seen a solitary badger hoovering up the peanuts around 21:30 on two consecutive nights. We're not convinced it is one of the gang from last year because it has a very grey coat and some quite distinctive stripes. The guess is it's a male as it has a very large tail, but either way he does not hang around. Although we've not seen him turning up yet, so we do not know if he's coming from down the side of the playhouse but he certainly left by way of the hole in the fence and out into the field. The hope had been that by the end of May we'd have seen a mother and cubs so fingers crossed.
The Siskins or rather a Siskin turned up last weekend to help demolish the nijer seeds but has not been seen since unfortunately.
