Badgers becoming more frequent visitors

 We have had Badgers in the area for a long time.  Occasionally we would see one or two in the late evening, and a few years ago we noticed a pair of pale grey and white badgers.

 This is a small badger with the pale grey colouration.  It is likely one of this years pups.  There appears to be two smaller paler badgers and a relatively small pair of adult badgers.  They are often accompanied by a larger black and white faced badger which is a text book example of the species.

This is the darker of the two pale adults in full sunlight.

I am very fond of this image of a fox by the geraniums at the top of our back lawn.
