The stream is a little deeper following the thunderstorm and the badgers were out in the open fields for the first time in months catching earthworms.

Leaving the camera on a small tripod and the focus to chance helped with getting close up video of a wary badger. The small hedgerow plums were well received.

A big day for the garden ants as the new queens ready themselves for flight and the prize of setting up a new colony.

A few hours ahead of a thunder storm it was cool enough to walk out to check on the badgers. They appeared to be fine despite the dry conditions and were happy to eat a few bonus peanuts at their own steady pace.

🦇 Today is the perfect evening to take part in our #SunsetSurvey and record bats and other wildlife that you find. All you have to do is spend 1h in your garden or local park around sunset and record what wildlife you encounter : www.bats.org.uk/our-work/nat...

The windchill probably kept the earthworms in their burrows last night, the badgers were a little more forward in taking a few peanuts. #mammals

Mating season for the foxes, this one was intent on a tracking a vixen and ignoring both me and the mice. #mammals

It is always nice to indulge in some moon watching and the light from a full moon over a calm wintery landscape dusted with snow is extra special.

A quiet moment with the badgers at the mid point of a winter's walk. Wonderfully peaceful even with the wind blowing strong.

The rain stopped and the clouds moved away allowing for a magical meet up with the badgers, illuminated with the light from the full moon. #mammals #moon

The light reflected from the rising full moon counters the early arrival of night. One of the first badgers to emerge into the still winter air expertly finds a handful of peanuts by sense of smell.

The badgers with gifted peanuts, they know the area well and will forage in the sheltered areas later, away from the effects of the frost.

The rain has brought earthworms to the surface and the badgers are working the fields. Vibration from footsteps (or light from a torch) will send the worm back underground but badgers are experts. #mammals

Volume on! (Sound is straight from bat, no detector or amp!). This little Whiskered bat was found roosting on Holland & Barrett's door, Honiton. The species is always full of rage! (Maybe he wanted a calming herbal tea?). Safely released. #bats #wildlife #nature @batconservation.bsky.social

There are no plum trees in the hedges near Mr Arbuckle so I bring him some seasonal windfalls, he clearly enjoys them. #mammals

A damp day and some light drizzle on the walk back from the badgers, enough to bring a few toads out.

A little bit early in the evening for the #badger cub to leave the safety of the sett entrance but a stretch to reach an offered peanut is in order. #mammals

The inner part of a broken nest of what looks like a Median #Wasp, not one I am familiar with. I read that they normally nest well above ground, this one was in tall grasses on a footpath.

The lovely @braintreemuseum.bsky.social has an exhibition of Toys and Games which includes perhaps the best display of #Brendatoys soft toys in recent times. Last day is Saturday 28th. Brenda Cheese deserves to be better known for her work.

Two cubs have made their appearance at the sett, one is more adventurous than the other and will even jab at the much bigger adult badgers if they are in the way.

The clay that forms the roof over the badger sett has shrunk as it has dried out, creating polygonal tiles wherever the tension is too much for the clay to resist.
