Badgers after Dark

The wildlife has always been an essential and integral part of our outdoor space. It might cause a few headaches but the thoughts of being able to share and coexist with minimal (or modest) mutual disruption is a very pleasant thought. Watching the wildlife is a challenge, as a lot of the activity is nocturnal.

On occasions we can get a peep into the badgers world from the bedroom window which overlooks the lower pond. These video images were taken a few weeks ago.

However, I have been intrigued to learn a little bit more about the garden at night so I have invested in a basic night time camera trap. The first results are quite encouraging. These images were taken around the back of the shed, directly outside the entrance to the set.

And the next morning the night time activities seemed to be of interest to more than just the human residents. A curious Hecate has a good sniff around!
