We’ve been struggling to find a good position for our trail cam where it doesn’t get knocked over and where it picks up wildlife, that isn’t just grass waving around. The top of our ramp has proved to be the best vantage point for the badger, and I was delighted that we managed to catch it (especially after I accidentally deleted some footage last year!) I was hoping to catch mice and voles, or the owl, but we need to keep experimenting with locations. I was pleased to learn that there is only one type of badger in the UK. I thought I’d better check, just to make sure. The animal we know as ‘the badger’ is correctly known as the European Badger (Meles meles, which is simply Latin for badger). There are other types of badger in the world – American, Asian, Honey, Chinese ferret-badger etc
