Where's my supper?

Tonight I went out to the Bird Study Group Meeting. Unfortunately, the bus which would get me closest to home was a 38 minute wait, so I opted for the 52 which involves a bit of a walk to my house. I was still home by 10 pm but was as I turned the corner into our road, what shoud I see but a badger leaving our driveway, and turning to give me a disdainful look. "Where's my supper?" I hadn't put out any food before going out. He trotted off. I expect he will come back later to check the usual spot, but it could be anytime before dawn!
