An evening with BadgerCam

A bit more slow TV from BadgerCam.  This sequence runs for 15 minutes and nothing much happens but it shows what the badgers get up to when they first emerge in the evening.  Scratching, mutual grooming, socialising before going off foraging for the night.  It looks to be a very relaxed way of life.  The cubs are easily recognised, as is their mother with very pale fur (on the far right in the first photo).  There is a large boar and several medium-sized badgers.  Near the start of the video something spooks most of the badgers, apart from the mother.  I have seen that before - whatever panics all the others doesn't bother her.  They all look a bit sheepish when they re-emerge.  Only seven badgers in this sequence (I am not sure which one was missing) but all seven do appear together, briefly.  I hope you enjoy watching.
