IKR, there's a story behind that one, eh!

Also, don't try to nick their breakfast, lol! This is Bobby in his prime, with a yearling (Robin)

They absolutely are. Peanut is a big bigger now.

URGENT: tomorrow there is a vote on the Govt's Planning & Infrastructure Bill.
This says that developers will be able to destroy wildlife & their habitats WITHOUT AN ECOLOGICAL SURVEY long as they pay into a central restoration fund.
We can't destroy nature and recreate it elsewhere! TBC 1/

Hey, human, I know it's nearly 2am, and I worried you half to death the other day, and i know you put my food under these silver bowls, but I prefer waitress service please!

It was only one night thank goodness, but I was still wreck.

I mean, my version is a little, um, rougher!

Still feeling rough from the migraine, but not as bad as earlier. Had so many recently 😬

Very glad for the rain on behalf of...

Probably healthier than my midnight mealtimes! Esp since Bobby has a knack for turning up just as I'm eating...so ofc I have to stop and feed him. Don't want any bad reviews on Badger TripAdvisor!

Aww! I would like fluffy velcro too!

Excellent name too, Bobby approves😆

Eeek! It's a flying saucer 🦡🙈🥰

When you're an old boy and needing a nap, but still have the energy for the drop and roll🦡🥰

Nom!! Sadly they did not, but they did get something & managed to brave the "remove rock from saucer" challenge *proud parent face* #MadSkyChat

That's really, really rough. I am sorry you're having such a tough time.

One minute at a time...

Is there anything you find comforting?

I have this chap, Milton the badger...

I think Valeria was one of those two cubs. She used to like to lie down to eat. She'd get progressively closer and closer to the ground until she was basically horizontal! Never saw her be properly aggressive but she was very shovey around food (badgers don't share well)

This is Phoebe...

It was just incredible! A couple of years later we had another sow, Rachel, bring her cubs & I got to watch them grow up

NB the red streaks are plum juice!

Have a Bobby & Peanut in "where's my breakfast, can I have your breakfast? Oh, please!"

She had already eaten!!

Late for a medical appointment & I'm not sure what to say...

If you see Bobby on your travels, could you tell him to hurry up please! I know it's a bit breezy out there, but I'd like to see him before I go to bed...
April 15, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Rude of me to go to bed tbh!

This was his 2nd visit, I'd been up for his 1st at 2a.m.!

Discovered ours during lockdown, though now realise they've probably been visiting mum's garden all the 20+ years she's been there.

This is Bobby, and his sidekick Peanut. She's 2, I've known him for 5 years so reckon he's around 7. He and I are friends now, but it took many years/peanuts.
