Not badgers this time but a family of polecats by my water bath. The variety of species taking advantage of this constant supply of clean, fresh water & particularly so during this heatwave is amazing.

Badger sows are very protective & attentive over their cubs. This is typical of a mum fussing over her cubs despite them being fully weaned & rapidly growing.

A common buzzard followed a family of polecats + badger sow & her cubs. All taking advantage of my water bath. Access to clean, fresh water is vital to wildlife during this prolonged heatwave.

Wildlife including badgers are finding this prolonged hot, dry weather very difficult. The ground is hard & dry making foraging for worms very difficult & water is drying up. This clan have water provided & food made available. Notice the 1 eating beetles.
