A cold and misty night, full of autumn atmosphere. This badger is foraging earthworms, quietly watched over by the protection team. #badgermonday

Protecting the badgers against the cull means staying close and keeping a watch, although sometimes I find I am standing in the wrong place. #badgermonday

Not wanting to share too much of the food. #badgermonday

It can be very dark not to mention very windy when checking on the badgers. Storms roll in and then pass. #badgermonday

Quietly standing to one side to allow Mr Arbuckle to eat his food free from the menace of badger shooters. #badgermonday

Badger cull has begun in Northamptonshire – covering the entire lower third of the county. Final year of the 4-yr licence, running 6–8 weeks. Patrollers are out every night – keep them fuelled https://t.co/qrdNSlnOgE #EndTheCull #EnoughIsEnough

One badger is not too happy about leaving the safety of the sett but it pays to be a bit careful when there are so many gun owners looking to see what they can kill. #badgermonday

A visit to a different badger sett to leave some food and water and to make a general welfare check, a small clan but they looked healthy. #badgermonday

Mr Arbuckle drops the corn, he was a bit nervous on this occasion and clearly was not biting the corn as hard as he could. #badgermonday

Two weeks to go. Patrollers are ready! They saved this badger’s life last year… and they’ll be out there doing it all over again. 💚 Help keep them on the road. ⛽ Every £ fuels life-saving patrols. 👉 https://t.co/MBe86DcwCl #EndTheCull

Tis the end of the plum season, the badgers have greatly enjoyed them while they lasted, a real treat in this dry year. #badgermonday

Mr Arbuckle tucking in to his breakfast seemingly with the aim of putting on some weight before winter arrives. #badgermonday

Mr Arbuckle enjoying a small old variety plum. Whilst peanuts are typically munched in a matter of fact way the juicy sweet plums are picked up and chomped with great animation. Larger dessert plums are best served with the stones removed. #badgermonday

Mr Arbuckle first out as usual, catching the last rays from the low evening sun. #badgermonday
