Well back garden actually.
I have been watching a pair of foxes over recent weeks, a pair have set up a den somewhere close by and use my back garden as a thoroughfare.
I've put out a few bits of food as I know they had cubs last year but I had no idea if the fox was finding the food or whether it was one of the local cats.
I remembered that I had an unused trailcam so put that out last night and was surprised and delighted to discover the culprit!
I need to site the trailcam a bit better to improve the field of view but this was the first time I have used it.
However, I was surprised to find a badger in such an urban environment, we are very close to a main traffic route out of the city and although there is a small 'nature reserve' (aka dog-walkers field) nearby I didn't expect to see one of these in my garden.
Are urban badgers a common site near you?
