Three badgers by my woodland water bath full of the joys of spring. 🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡🦡

Check out Andy McWilliam's Roe Deer Diaries featured below. A fascinating insight into a roe deer family throughout the seasons.🦌🦌🦌🦌

Last year's young buck, Bramble, is almost a year old now. He obligingly stops in front of a camera and has a good scratch.

My latest article,'Creature, Facts & Myths,' is now out in issue 106 of Bushcraft mag. Book 3 'From Otters to Badger Baiters' out around June/July & now working on book 4.👍🦡🦦🐘📖

Our resident weasel by my tunnel box. Weasels are members of the Mustelid family along with badgers, otters, stoats, polecats & the pine marten. Hand-reared an orphan weasel some years ago & what a charming little character she turned out to be!

Only 6 copies left! Definitely need to order more.

Gave a presentation last night to Wirral RSPB Group. A packed audience & many questions.

We had the dog fox on the previous clip and here we have his mate the vixen & heavy in milk after giving birth. This pair of foxes are resident with the vixen always tending to use a quiet part of the sett to have her cubs.

Badger by the Nutter clan sett followed by the resident dog fox. Listen to his call. Love that sound! Not quite sure what's going on with the running badger followed by the fox at the end?!!

Badgers, fox, tawny owl followed by a buzzard & finally rabbit by the water bath in the wood.

A bit more badger / sheep interaction down at the Nutter clan. Not Welsh Blacks this time but regardless of the breed, the sheep are definitely the boss. 👍🦡🐏🐏

Badger, fox & rabbit just going about their business in the wood by the water bath.🦡🐇🦊

As with the previous clip, 2 boars having a confrontation. 1 from the Dickens clan, the other poss from the Nutter clan. You can see the result of the battle on the backside of the one that returns. Thankfully, nothing too serious.

Feb to May are peak mating times for badgers &
with a sow only being in oestrous for 2 days, the boars work themselves into a frenzy in their competition to mate, often leading to battles. These 2 on my drive are from neighbouring clans. Turn the vol up.

A man has been arrested following a badger set interference. Warrants were executed in the Caernarfon and Llanllyfni areas in partnership with RSPCA today (Wednesday, March 6th).

Polecat, fox, rabbit & badger crossing the old bridge.🦡🦊🦇🐝🦉🐦‍⬛🦋

Our resident dog and vixen by the Nutter clan sett. Every year the vixen chooses a disused section of the sett to give birth. I recently placed a cam close to the hole I suspected they were using but old brock thought I was being too intrusive & moved it!!

A pair of buzzards, a badger swimming across the river & a pair of mandarin ducks battle the rising waters.

A male weasel checking out my mammal box in the wood by the old stone wall. He regularly hunts here as the wall abounds with wood mice, voles and shrews.

Badgers crossing the old log bridge. Listen to the vocalisations. Followed badger, the dog otter, rabbit & fox.
