As spring turned into summer and the lockdown persisted the cameras recorded more videos of the badgers in daylight. The two cubs had very different personalities. One was a troublemaker, fairly clumsy and was always larking about and wanting to play. I presume he was a he. The other, probably female, was much more sensible and tried to ignore him and concentrate on eating. This video of the two of them was recorded in mid May.
Thanks Chris your video clips are very enjoyable, a privilege to see badgers at play. Very tolerant sister who nearly ended up minus her tail - no doubt good training for motherhood!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that the two cubs have split up Liz. One is in a satellite sett to the south and the other in another sett in the north, with the mother. The daft cub seems to be in the south so I think mother has got rid of him and sent him off to stay with relatives.
DeleteGreat footage Chris
