As promised, badger photos. We sat by the open window for over an hour, and of course they did arrive, but later than the previous nights. Still, Steffi managed a few shots with the flash, which didnt bother them at all.

The female great spot has taken to landing on a particular tree stump we salvaged from the river before leaping up to the peanut feeder, and this allowed Steffi to get some cracking close-ups of this beauty.
Another bonus from today came in the shape of garden tick number 78, when a much longed for male wheatear was seen feeding up by the railway crossing gate. Still plenty of fieldfares and redwings in the meadow, along with the regular mistle thrushes, whose numbers are up to the mid twenties.
