Badger, polecat, buzzard, Old Pink Nose (badger) & greenfinch. Just a small selection of the wildlife attracted to our semi-wild garden.
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.
Mum & her cubs taking advantage of my woodland water bath. Access to clean, fresh water is a vital to many species of wildlife during these periods of hot, dry weather.
Not 2 cubs this time, but 3. Also enjoying a few treats. This bunch are from the Dickens clan whilst the previous clip was the No-Tail clan.
A sow & her cubs enjoying a peanut treat. Badgers can have a hard time during hot, dry spells & particularly so the cubs with peanuts providing a welcome treat.
