Night Time Visitor

Here's a surprise.  I was testing the new motion sensitive infra red camera and on the very first night captured this unexpected visitor.


The cats and even the foxes were not a surprise, but this definitely was!  I should explain that we live on a main road, on the long side of a right angled triangle formed by a back road.  So the gardens in the triangle are only accessible by crossing the road and finding an access point between the houses.

  1. What a surprise. Had you no idea that badgers were about?

    1. Not expected at all. I did suspect there was one at the school garden (Only a badger would dig up and chew up a whole row of carrots) which is why the camera was purchased. I hadn't expected to find one on home turf!

  2. Badgers look so good in night vision! Not really a welcome visitor, but I would love to see a live one!

    1. Yes they mostly eat worms which is bad news if you are relying on them (worms) to improve your soil structure. They are also carrot fiends!
