Popular Post +Derbyshire Dave Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Cath and I had gone out to try and watch a badger set near our home. It's a great set and you can watch from a few hundred yards away, from behind a wall, without disturbing these lovely creatures. We were disappointed to see that cows had been let into the field, and so we thought we had little chance of catching a glimpse. So we waited a while and then set off back home on the bridleway. We had Bertie, our border terrier with us, on a lead obvioulsly. This is what happened next .. these were taken on my mobile.. and then Mr B came closer And he didn't seem to be stopping...

+RonC Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Amazing, what was Bertie's response?? 😮 +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Derbyshire Dave Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Bertie and Billy the Badger seemed totally unaware of each other. Even when Billy had ran off, Bertie didn't bark, tug or anything. This is from the dog who will chase a rabbit or squirrel and be not interested in coming back.. +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Wow what a privilege to see this. Badgers have poor eyesight so I bet he/she didn't see Cath. +Derbyshire Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you are right Mick, they'll run right up to you before realising that you are there. Saw three hares on the way back too! Doc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
