11 Feb

I’ve put the date on these posts as I’ve had no internet connection for 6 weeks. I’m publishing these posts all at once. Feel free to read this and the previous two which should bring you up to date.

I started my walk with the (now) usual creeping about in West wood looking out for the deer or the foxes. No luck today, so I turned my attention to tracking as the ground was quite wet.

I walked through to East wood, where I spotted some fur on the ground. It was quite obviously rabbit fur but low and behold I noticed what I’m sure was a badger print. There are definite claw marks, but I can’t tell whether they are hind or front paws.

Again I was quite pleased with the finding. In the small wood, there seems to be deer, foxes and badger that frequent the woods. All I have to do now is find the sett or dens.
