It was a pretty miserable wet night a couple of nights ago but one of the badgers appeared all wet and soggy. I'd have guessed Rosie but I have had trouble telling them apart. She wolfed the food down and was suddenly joined by the other badger, I thought Charlie. However, as I studied them I thought they looked the same size but males are meant to be larger. I was a bit mystified until something moved in the garden and there was badger number three!
When this badger came over after the other 2 had wandered into the garden it was obvious this was infact Charlie as he was definitely bigger.
So the tricky little critters have been alternating and coming in one by one or 2 at a time to confuse me! I have yet to capture all three together on film. However, I have caught several videos of the ones I thought were Charlie & Rosie but may have in fact sometimes been 2 girls! The word has obviously been spread that food is available and they're all coming to visit which is fantastic!
As I'm now pretty sure there's at least 2 girls and a boy so my fingers are again firmly crossed for the appearance of baby badgers next year!
Here's 2 having a lovely feed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RxPrgJTGoQ
