Just saw my first badger today Amazing

[@SteveDyke_Dykie_Travel]

The other night I found a family of four living at the bottom of my garden. They are playful and very cute to watch, I set up my wildlife cam to watch them so I don't disturb them. #StopTheCull

I have both badgers and foxes visit my wildlife friendly garden in the outer reachs of London and hand feed them. From my experience they do not become get used to humans but to locations. My last hand feedable fox who would come when called, at set times of the day, would completely ignore my calls if i came across him in the road. The badgers, which have been hand fed for 5 or 6 years, are still nervous of any sudden movement and will scuttle off to the shadows. They only approach if you are quiet and still so in no way could they be described as used to humans even after all this time, only perhaps, tolerant of them.

I used to live just up the road from secret world. Often took birds or animals there. Where I live now we have communal gardens and have been banned from feeding the badgers, foxes and birds. Really upset about this, and it was because someone saw a couple of rats. About ten yards from my flat is a small narrow area of land, that is left alone, and I wonder if that's where the badgers come from. We are a few miles from farmland and forest. Was amazed when I saw the badger the first time.

You're recording some of the dialogue using a mono microphone - nothing wrong with that. But you only get the sound through to one speaker in the first part of it, which is not so good. But most likely this cheap little adapter can help in future videos: Instead of plugging the mic directly into your camera (or whatever recording device you are using), simply put this thing in between: kortlink.dk/pn8s It won't turn the sound into stereo, but it should get the mono sound to both channels.

I have watched this lovely ladies videos and I know she is a very special human who loves these beautiful creatures. However I am concerned that the information discussed can be used by the sadistic bastards who hunt these lovely creatures.

If I could stop them and the foxes digging up my garden then I'd help them in whichever way I can as I do not want to deter them. I need to somehow encourage them to dig elsewhere. I've tried putting out food so they don't need to dig but the local cats eat it and I don't want to attract rats close to the house ?! Thanks for sharing. Subbed 👍🏻
