...co-exist with Badgers? Like, within a few feet/close promixatey/same field etc?

I was out yesterday where usually the place would be heaving with them, but I didn't see anything, except two badgers digging underneath a hedgerow. Was quite a nice sight to be honest, I'd only seen one badger before and that was a hundred yards away.

Oh and I also saw four hares but that's irrelevant.
