Just over a year ago we began getting visits from a badger but they stopped after a couple of weeks. This year he (she?) is back with, at times, a friend. While nice to have (is it?) they have so far taken out about 6ft of beetroot row, produced a few small holes in the lawn and a larger hole maybe a foot deep in a flower border, presumably looking for rats? There was a rat tunnel in the hole and we can only hope the badger was successful and took out a rat nest. We have tried to discover where brock gets into the garden by using trail cameras but have so far failed.
The occasional fox visits but this is quite rare now compared to maybe 10 years ago. Rabbits are most uncommon apart from ones our cat brings back from the fields. The cat is a good ratter but only really for young ones; he seems quite happy to sit and watch adults! Maybe he has learnt not to meddle with big ones. He also just sits and watches grey squirrels and they watch him, at times from only 6ft away.
Happy days.
Cheers, Phil
