Just pulled into my folks yard and let the dog out the car.
Turned back to the car and there is an adult badger followed me to the yard entrance.
What a lovely surprise
Luckily dopey labrador didnt twig the badger was there and I hustled her through the gate closing it behind her, I have no desire to try seperating a lab and a badger.
Well the metal gate and gatepost made a bit of a clang and he was gone by the time I turned back.
Walked through the house and into the living room and Dad says "I've just seen a badger running past the window".
Now I have seen badgers often and know they are around, even gone a couple of times and sat upwind of the setts at dusk and watched them there, but to see one literally no more than 12 feet away in broad daylight was a real treat.
Surprised he was so close to the house , maybe having a rake around the sheds out of curiosity or having a go at the fruit bushes.
Usually they are very shy.
