Sat by my PC watching two badgers feast on peanuts in the garden, one I think is an old male the other looks like one of this years young, don't seem bothered by the floodlight on the house wall or the barking of next doors dogs. Fleeting visit by a very young fox. Cheers Tony.
Hi Steve thanks for the reply, hope you are well. Trying a differrent tack tonight, dog mixer and peanut butter sandwiches, only got mediocre camera equipment etc but hoping to get some good pictures of this years young. Was stood about 3 metres from a youngster last night but forgot my camera, stealth is not my middle name. Tony
Both parents and five pretty well grown young tucking into my offerings tonight, stood on an area of decking not a metre from the youngsters, another large adult, big nose stripe, probably a male just appeared, noisy eaters and a little smelly.
Sad to think that these beauties are to be culled heavily in farming areas as it looks like the green light will be given for this to go ahead.
Hate the fact that it's put out as though TB amongst cattle is given them by badgers. Many that mention this are of the opinion that it's badgers giving cows TB. When they find out that's not the case the opinion of culling can often be softened.

A total of ten badgers in the garden last night. One adult male, two lactating females and seven youngsters. They've taken a real liking to Dr. Johns Silver dog food as recommended by Paul at Waterfoot Pet food shop. Steve, badgers, bovine TB, culling and farmers, it's a confusing and often ambiguous debate not least some very debatable farming practices in the West Country.
