An ok day today in terms of the weather so took an evening walk to Corstorphine area and the mission was to spot some badgers. We settled down at one of the setts and waited for some badgers but it was a bit more tricky because there was loads of himalayan balsam in the way and it was all over the place. Howerver after we had settled down at the sett we didnt have too long to wait before some badgers duly appeared. At 0one point there were three badgers fighting with each other and making a lot of noise - it looked like 2 were ganging up on another and maybe they were trying to drive off a young one? or maybe it was just mock fighting? eventually they disappeared into the undergrowth but a couple of others padded about the sett and we saw about 5 or 6 in total so it was a worthwhile trip.
On the way back we stopped in the woods and watched a couple of bats (pipistrelles) flying about just before dusk so that rounded off a good night as we headed back to the car.
