Scottish Badgers welcomes the results of the @NatureScot DNA research into the role of badgers in lamb predation on Scottish farms. The research found no direct evidence of lamb predation by badgers - a finding that ties in with previous studies. https://t.co/hIoBiM8axW

In tribute to our ex-Trustee Allan Bantick OBE who passed away last week, we are republishing this article Allan wrote for us on his retirement. Allan's wildlife career, in his own words: https://t.co/BcwdWcsKTC

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing Allan Bantick OBE this week. Founding member of Scottish Badgers & former Trustee, Allan brought his characteristic knowledge, gravitas, clear thinking & fun to our small charity & contributed greatly to our cause. Thank you Allan.
