Looked out of the the kitchen window before we went to bed last night and the outside light was on after being triggered. Three young badgers where eating seeds from under the bird feeders. We stood and watched them, and they seemed not to notice us a few feet away.
I sometimes need reminding how lucky we are to live where we do.

Love that Stoop...

We had a 'pet' skunk in our garden for a summer when I lived in Chicago. My dad bravely (or foolishly) got up close and took a photo of him. Amazing. Your story's cuter though Jacqui. ;D

Badgers carry TB, so be careful, they spread through the fact that they are incontinent and P!$$ over everything as they walk around your garden.

Stoop, I just love that picture and the caption, cant stop laughing! ;D
-
That's brilliant Stoop! ;D

Yes, I know about the T.B. thing, we have had them in the garden for years now. They live down in our trees. There is one thing I know, they are safe with us, no one is going to be gassing them.
Seen your picture before last year on Facebook Stoop, very well done by someone, I remember it was also sent to me by a friend in the States.

Yes, I believe you Stoop, but you better start some law suits for all the copyright a it's been on the net since 2010.

they may be safe with you, but are you safe with them? I work in agriculture and have seen the havoc they cause.

Bovine T.B. seems not to be a problem in Scotland. I live in an agricultural area know many farmers and have learned quite a lot in the last thirty years even breeding livestock myself for a number of years.

So, another reason why it's good to live in Scotland. ;D ;)
