Mike took Graham and I up to a Badger sett he has been visiting on Dartmoor for some years. I decided not to weigh myself down so just took my bridge camera. Being the eternal pessimist I assumed we would probably not see much. As it turned out I could not have been more wrong!
The omens were good as we approached the sett as we passed a juvenile Badger on the way up who gave us a rather withering look and then disappeared behind a drystone wall.
Within minutes of arriving we were treated to brilliant views of an adult and four juveniles eating and larking about within a few metres of where we were sat. Not sure how to get video on the blog so a few pics follow.
Bearing in mind what is about to happen to the Badger population I will treasure the hour or so we spent with them.
