A person with a spade & a bag/bucket. They will be off to dig up turf & put bait out to lure badgers to be shot.

Quadbike tracks across a field. Especially if the same route is used over and over near a sett.

The clock is ticking.

We expect a roll-out of the badger cull into more areas of Somerset this year as Defra scrambles to placate key landowners who want to kill badgers.
Information from local people with reference to suspicious activity round badger setts or inside knowledge of cull operatives will be much appreciated. As always, we handle sensitive information with great care. So please drop us a line so we can look after Somerset's badgers together. We will have a mobile number to ring us on shortly too.
