Somerset Against The Badger Cull

Today was a day of two halves. Heading out to our planned sett-surveying location we came across an rtc fox lying in the road. On closer inspection it became clear she was a lactating vixen. We set about surveying the fields looking for a fox den and actually found one fairly close by. It was long shot but we have placed a camera at this site just in case.

Carrying on to the wood we wanted to survey we were dismayed to find it full of shooting paraphernalia - shooting towers and hides. Despite this there was plenty of active runs and latrines so wildlife still passes through the wood but has sensibly decided to live somewhere else. ... See MoreSee Less

Tragic and deeply upsetting callout for volunteers from the Somerset Badger Group.Picked up on Sunday night in the Beckery area of Glastonbury, a small dead badger probably a year old. It had a charity wristband tightly embedded in its neck causing a serious wound. The 7cm diameter wrist band read: “Respecting Differences”. How the band became embedded is unknown but it must have restricted the animal’s ability to feed and was impossible to remove without cutting it off.
The animal had other injuries, cause unknown but a salutory reminder to us all of what discarded or even purposely placed damage plastics can do to Wildlife.

Thanks again to everyone involved in reporting and retrieving the badger.

If anyone knows anything about this animal please could we urge you to contact Somerset Badger Group in confidence on our 24/7 Helpline 07850 604585 or email via the website somersetbadgers.org.uk It might help to save another animals life. ... See MoreSee Less

From dawn til dusk. A full day of sett-surveying today for one of our teams.

Lots of good activity found, active runs and latrines recorded. But sadly lots of rubbish found left in hedgerows too.

There are people out most days so get in touch if you’d be keen to join them and learn the skills of sett-surveying. If you know where badgers are, you can protect them. ... See MoreSee Less

Surveying for badger setts generally involves discovering some new-found treasure.

One of our teams out on Monday found a damp woodland floor littered with scarlet elf cups - an edible fungus glowing ruby red in the low sunlight. The leaves of a dozen or so early purple orchids were clustered round the trunk of an oak tree. And the icing on the cake was many a wonderful active badger hole with the classic arched roof.

Another team out today found a huge latrine site with over 30 small pits!

Why not get in touch with us and find out how you too can enjoy woodland adventures, learn a lot, make lifelong friends and help protect somerset badgers too? ... See MoreSee Less
