Peanut Butter sandwiches

Last night I was in the kitchen and I noticed the security light had triggered, in itself very unusual, so I went to see why.

I thought it would probably be just be a fox that had set it off but I couldn't see anything. Suddenly something moved - it was a badger!!

I was so excited as I'd never seen one before, I rushed to get my camera but the badger had wandered off, most likely startled by the light. I am now going to keep a good eye out for the badgers and maybe leave them a little snack to try and encourage them back.

That actually explained what had most likely been digging up my garden recently - I had put it down to the foxes again as they're all I've seen big enough to dig that much. I discovered a total mess one day - the new bush that I'd planted for the birds was totally uprooted! It was also in the exact spot that I saw the badger last night - coming back to the scene of the crime!

Still to have badgers visiting is worth the occasional uprooted plant and apparently if they get fed they don't dig as much - so it's peanut butter sandwiches all round!
