Lovely shot Mike- looking at the size i'd say it was female:)

Thought so she had 2 fledglings in tow.

Nice one Mike, where did you see this.

I took this photograph at a local woodland a few miles from my home and its perfect for filming Badgers as they nightly route is directly away from most roads and do not encounter people very often I feel responsible for keeping these Badgers and the other wildlife in the wood safe so I have called it Brock wood to keep the woodland and its location a secret plus I do not even think it has a name. I have walked past the nest many times and never new it was there but now the Adults and fledglings are very vocal.
