BadgerCam in Ardnamurchan

This is probably the last set of images from my trip to Ardnamurchan a few weeks ago.  The trail cameras and food put out for the pine martens mostly attracted badgers.  The white flash Wingscapes camera did better with the badgers than it had with pine martens, probably mainly because the badgers didn't move around as much.

Each night the badgers stayed until all the peanuts and raisins had gone so I ended up with dozens of videos of badgers eating, all pretty much the same.  They don't have great table manners and are very noisy eaters as you can hear on this video.  The occasional flickering is caused by a second camera to the right switching off and back on.

The badgers also took a liking to the peanut butter and strawberry jam I put on a stick to encourage the pine martens to climb.  The badgers are less agile but taller and can reach without climbing.
