Plenty badgers and a scrawny fox

The badgers are continuing to visit in numbers but are frequently being beaten to the peanuts by a bold young fox cub, although the cub sometimes has to be a bit sneaky if the badger arrives early.

Balmy busy evenings

The badgers have been visiting in increasing numbers over recent weeks, with five coming at once on Wednesday and making short work of the peanuts. Most of them were perfectly friendly with occasional hind butting. One of them definitely seems a paler colour than the others but more observation is required to be sure it wasn't just a trick of the moonlight.

Thursday saw the visit of a very young fox cub, most definitely this year's brood, and fortunately the camera trap picked it up feeding on the peanuts.
