There's this guy in mid Wales called Gareth Morgan who's on really good terms with his local sett. A friend took me to see him and his badgers last year, and it was amazing - he knows them all by name, and their histories, and he's got special calls for them all. We were there for about two hours. It was a terrific evening.

Has anyone else here met him or his stripey friends?

He has got DVDs out, and some of his stuff is on youtube.
The Badger Man of Way-ells.
Good stuff!

Cool! I have to say, seeing them in the flesh was magic. Previously I'd watched badgers from hides, but these animals really close and let you take photos. And what made it even better was the way he knew them all, and he told us little anecdotes about what happened when such a one died, and when another was born.
