they are rarely seen unless you know where to look and go looking for them

I saw one up close last summer. The wife and our two kids and I went back to the UK to spend a week's holiday near Battle.
We had a little wooden "chalet" (well, an oversized shed) on a site. this was the last on the bottom of the site, just before a fence separating the site from farmland.
One night, we were sitting on the deck about an hour and a half before sunset, and I heard a sort of rumbling running noise, and along trotted a big badger, following the line of the fence. It saw about the height of a whippet, and four times as wide.
I imagine it runs along there every evening, and back again a few hours later.
Keith.
): . Weather is looking mixed, with plenty of wind to cover my noise 
. Good end to the working week me thinks.
