The light reflected from the rising full moon counters the early arrival of night. One of the first badgers to emerge into the still winter air expertly finds a handful of peanuts by sense of smell.

The badgers with gifted peanuts, they know the area well and will forage in the sheltered areas later, away from the effects of the frost.

One of the badgers moving forward, searching for peanuts at the start of the night. The moonlight creating dark and light patterns amongst the trees. #mammals

Mr Arbuckle taking an interest in some peanuts, even if he is probably already at his pre-winter comfort weight.

The rain has brought earthworms to the surface and the badgers are working the fields. Vibration from footsteps (or light from a torch) will send the worm back underground but badgers are experts. #mammals

Volume on! (Sound is straight from bat, no detector or amp!).
This little Whiskered bat was found roosting on Holland & Barrett's door, Honiton. The species is always full of rage! (Maybe he wanted a calming herbal tea?). Safely released. #bats #wildlife #nature @batconservation.bsky.social

A damp day and some light drizzle on the walk back from the badgers, enough to bring a few toads out.

The inner part of a broken nest of what looks like a Median #Wasp, not one I am familiar with. I read that they normally nest well above ground, this one was in tall grasses on a footpath.

The young starlings crowded around the bowls of water put out on the garden table for starling style squabbling bathing. I think they enjoyed themselves.

The lovely @braintreemuseum.bsky.social has an exhibition of Toys and Games which includes perhaps the best display of #Brendatoys soft toys in recent times. Last day is Saturday 28th. Brenda Cheese deserves to be better known for her work.

Badger cub finishing off his breakfast, he eats 150g of puppy food mixed with hydration fluid in one sitting which is good going for such a little one, and he often comes back for seconds after a few minutes rest.

Two cubs have made their appearance at the sett, one is more adventurous than the other and will even jab at the much bigger adult badgers if they are in the way.
