Wildlife Photographer ( sort of ) love all animals, badgers and foxes especially. NO BADGER CULL

@LesTwigg I think stinkhorns are a delicacy in France, at least the 'eggs' they grow from, rather them than me. Always wondered if badgers eat mushrooms.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

It's like a mini autumn in our local woods at the moment, panthercap, stinkhorn and 2 I need to look up. Makes me SO happy foraging in the undergrowth for mushrooms, covered in mud and spider webs and twigs in my hair like Radagast😃🍄

@Northantsbadger @BadgerTrust Wonderful !

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

Twig parachute I think, so pretty and tiny, saw more than a dozen species this evening 🍄🍄🍄

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

@chris_swan Story of my life that.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

First stinkhorn I've ever seen in July, another half dozen species in the soggy woods too including tawny grisettes and panthercaps.

@aquasulis1998 I've been in contact with the Badger Trust, not sure they can do much until the police respond. I kind of assumed they would inform the Leicestershire group, I must contact them directly.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

@louisenobladder Yes there is, I must get in touch with them about it, Badger Trust know but not the Leicestershire branch I think.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

@CravenBadgers Yeah they know, I've had posters up telling them the police are investigating, and the Badger Trust and others are aware. I really don't understand their motives.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

The sett is definitely still active, got pics of 2 badgers right next to it, and a week or so pics of the guy responsible looking at the sett. Not incriminating pics but contacted the police earlier.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

@WYP_CNewsome That's such a relief to hear that, our wildlife officer is supposed to be coming tomorrow, can show him what's been going on.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

@BeidaiheBirder Yes I've been told to leave it, wildlife officer was coming Monday anyway but now hopefully tomorrow. Bloody horrible feeling leaving it like that.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

There's an almost brand new one entrance badger sett under all that, the police are coming soon, leaving it like that as potential evidence is torture knowing there's at least one badger in there. Possibly more🤬🤬🤬💩💩💩🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

Blaireautins, such a sweet French word, hoping to see scenes like this again this year🐾🦡🤞

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

@nycbunnymadison The band ? They were great.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

Not taken tonight but it looks amazing out there right now.

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

Bliss.

@EileenAllen55 Fabulous book ! There are some excellent ones by Chris Ferris too, a pseudonym I think🙂🦡

[Dan Belton @BeltonDan]

A very close chance encounter with a badger cub, was totally fearless, not a good thing for a badger.
