Badger sett, recently dug

Badger sett, recently dug

Recently-excavated entrance to a badger sett, under the hedge by the canal at Newbridge. Traces of the badger(s) using the entrance show up best on the left of the soft earth.

Badger footprint in soft earth

One of the footprints. Not dissimilar to those of a large dog, but the toes are more likely to leave an impression, and the sole leaves a kidney-shaped mark clearly wider than it is long.
