Amazing , baby badgers, so cute, all hungry and enjoying their food, parent badger is so long in the body, such a rare opportunity to see close-up views. Thank you Nick Gomm and Badger Botherer

[@BadgerBotherer1]

Lovely footage!

[@nickgomm987]

BadgerBotherer1 Thanks. I had great fun filming - just waiting for this year's cubs.

[@BadgerBotherer1]

I'm waiting for my local ones, too. I went up to mid-Wales the other day, where I got some nice daylight footage of badgers and their cubs. Will upload it ASAP.

Love the sound they make when they're snaffling their food. 🦡❤️

There must be lot's of nutritious larvae in that piece of wood. Fantastic pictures.

Theres loads in the UK, the fields behind us i can hear them walking home from work sometimes at dusk, that noise is very distinctive.

" ...i can hear them walking home from work..." For a moment, i wondered what Badgers do for work before i realized what you meant.

I was surprised by many badgers. I used to like a rock band called Badger. You have subscribed to the channel. Looking from Tokyo!

When I was a kid they said farmers and hunter would put coke - those hard coal things used for fuel - in their boots so when badgers attacked they would think they already bit the bones. I think it was just a fairy tale but wouldn't want to get bitten by one in any case. It probably hurts a lot :D

[@DanielThomas234]

Stunning footage. Was The camera hidden? How did they get close without being spooked?...

[@nickgomm987]

Thanks very much. My partner had been to the set a few times before and put some peanuts down for them and they just got used to us. I sat on a canvas stool and the camera (Sony HDR - FX1E) on a tripod in front of me. They came right up to my feet. They were easily spooked by horses 100 m away but didn't worry about us at all. I felt very privileged to be there.

I live in America and I really just want to move to Europe to see the badgers. Maybe as a vacation or visit, but I'd love to live in Europe.

[@Koraxus]

There are plenty of badgers in the American continent, but they look like my profile picture instead of the elongated snouts these ones have.

[@am1d]

I think those are different badgers. Meles Meles (European Badger) can be found in Europe and close to the the middle east. There are sub-species, some of which may inhabit North America, but definitely not these ones.

That's very kind Stewart. It will soon be time to have another go. Nick.
