Out with the old and in with the new

Mrs Badger is a very tidy animal and has been busy spring cleaning.  I think this is the mother of two cubs I videoed coming out of the sett for the first time two years ago.  I set up the camera again in the hope of a repeat but all I have seen so far is housework.  On this evening she spent six minutes making six trips clearing out the old bedding and another 22 minutes and seven trips replacing it with fresh stuff.  So we don't have to watch it all in real time I have speeded up the action.



I'll keep the camera in place for a while in case new cubs make an appearance.
