The dense stand of tall nettles keeps us all within a small clear space and the brief evening feed often becomes a push and shove towards the end. #badgermonday

Government doubles down for more cruel, unscientific mass badger shooting.

Oxfordshire Badger Group is devastated that supplementary culling has started in zones across the country.

Sending strength to our fellow badger groups in the affected areas. 😭

Badger cub is smiling because he is eating a peanut, the ground is rock hard so worms are off the menu for now. If we get some rain this weekend it will be good.

Environment secretary Thérèse Coffey said that she won’t keep to “artificial deadlines” over ending the badger cull. And her words come just as plans were confirmed for tens of thousands more deaths at the hands of farmers.

[Tim Birch @TimBirchWild]

This is exactly why we need to keep our speed down on roads particularly at night. I saw this young badger on a country road last night. Slowed right down and the badger wandered off safely. #badger #nature @IoloWilliams2 @ChrisGPackham @WTWales @BadgerTrust @JulieJamesMS

A very poorly badger cub has arrived with us today, via the East Yorkshire Badger Protection Group @EastBadger. The animal was found curled up on a pavement, severely dehydrated, unresponsive and cold to the touch.
