Wildlife spotting

 Today instead of putting out the camera trap I decided to see some of the animals for myself. Me and my Dad found some badger sets and got comfy. However, the first thing we saw was not a badger. After half an hour of waiting and seeing nothing we finally saw a fox upon the edge of the woods where we normally put out the camera trap. The fox was hard to make out but we could just about see it.

After about five minutes we spotted another fox which came a lot closer to us but still no badgers. 

Finally we saw not one, but two badgers!

 

Pictures from late February.

For this set of camera trap pictures we put out some seed and some raw chicken which the fox gobbled up.

Winter Badger

 The badger was the animal I least expected to get in winter.  This time we put the camera trap on a steep bank up from a river not far from our house.
