Badger Setts - Peterborough/Spalding area in Lincolnshire?

[nikkilouise]

I'm hoping to photograph some Badgers in the near future, and so have been going out and searching for Badger Setts nearby...no luck so far

Wondering if anyone knows of any setts around the Peterborough/Stamford/Spalding area of Lincolnshire that I would be able to set up a hide near and photograph them safely?

Thanks!
Nikki

If anyone does know any, it would be a good idea to PM the information as the location of badger setts are best kept quiet.

I agree, badger setts should not be disclosed either on the forum or via PM IMHO

You are right, Mungo. PM not a good idea either.
Best to join your local badger group probably.

Hi

as you guys seem to know abit about badgers, are we supposed to report where we see a dead one.

i have always had sneaky suspicions we have badgers near us as we have a nice country side area. however, ive never seen one or evidence of one until the other day, and unfortunately it had been killed on the side of the road.

Hi
Local badger groups sometimes like to know where dead badgers are found so it might be worth contacting your local one to find out.

If not the local Badger Group, the local Wildlife Trust or Natural History Society would probably like the records.
