My garden

Nighttime wildlife video

Badgers - 4 - Ma Badger & Pa Badger - Boy Badger & his 3 legged brother.

Ma & Pa Badger have been visiting my garden together since early 2023. In 2023 they had 2 cubs Boy Badger & Girl Badger (I am just guessing at their sexes, but one looked like Ma, the other looked like Pa). Girl Badger stopped coming by the end of 2023. But Boy Badger (born 2023 still comes with his parents). 

In 2024 a new young badger appeared. He/She has 3 legs, one hind leg missing, but gets about just fine, except it probably has to expend much more energy to move around. 
You can see 3 legged Badger (born 2024) in the bushes with just 'his' head sticking out. 

What they are feeding on, I haven't a clue. I have not put any food down. But I do have fatballs for the birds up above, and bits drop off. Sometimes the magpie and squirrels remove fatballs out of the feeders. I also have many worms in the garden, who curl up in the holes of my rubber mats mats (these are down to stop me sliding - no sun on this part of the garden in winter so it is mossy).

At the very beginning of this video you can see Pa Badger playing with one of those fatballs. Maybe he was also breaking it in bits for the 3 legged badger. 

Pa Badger is the one interested in the swing...
