However this is the scene which greets us every morning lately - what a good job we are not lovers of striped lawns eh?!
As you can see the wood adjoing our garden is "designated as a quiet area for wildlife" but...
.... when I went through the wood to the Post Office recently I noticed this notice attached to the board. I haven't seen nor heard any signs of badger baiting thank goodness but I wonder if the badgers can read and decided to take their revenge on the nearest garden! You might have to enlarge this photo by clicking on it in order to be able to read it.
I must admit that I cannot imagine taking an injured badger to the nearest vet's they must be very heavy and would I imagine be somewhat agressive if injured so it's lucky I haven't come across one!
