I have only ever seen one Badger and that was a real suprise.

It was last year when I had been spending a couple of days Birdwatching around the Bempton, Flamborough Head area of Yorkshire. I had bedded down for the night in my car by the side of a field near Flamborough Head. I remember listening to a programme on the radio about Cold Play when something caught my eye. It was a very dark night but soon a badger emerged from out of the undergrowth and was snuffling away right by the car.

It didn't stay long and was soon back into the undergrowth but I doubt that I will ever forget that encounter (especially as it is the only one I have ever seen).

Your right John, I have been lucky in the past couple of years to see some badgers and I hope that one day I will be able to put the video I got of one on this site. I bet your badger came over to you to listen to coldplay. Whatever reason, it is something special to see them and (I feel) a privilege to see them. I grew up in the countryside and never saw even one of them. That one that past me on the road did frighten the life out of me though..............Jon
