Went on a walk to the badger sett with a local wildlife enthusiast\photographer who was going to try and get a photo if possible without spooking the badgers. Got there about 930 and got a vantage point overlooking the sett so settled down for a possible sighting. A couple of badgers duly appeared within about 10 minutes but they maybe got a whiff of our scent as they seemed a bit jumpy. The light was still quite good but the breeze was quite chilly. Eventually about 5 or 6 badgers did appear in 1's and 2's but they were rushing about from one entrance\exit to another so the sightings were not that good tonight. The real highlight was when a tawny owl flew silently right across the sett quite low to the ground - a great sight!
After this we made our exit and on the way back saw a lot of bunnies and a few bats which were very small so probably pipistrelle bats.
