Just happy to observe the natural world, but its a bonus when a free creature comes close. Now on bluesky.

Please join the boycott against @rspcaassured Scottish salmon - shame on @RSPCA_official and @ScottishSPCA for sponsoring welfare abuse and the unnecessary suffering of millions of Atlantic salmon. Join protestors outside RSPCA HQ in Horsham later today https://t.co/lvZhvTOxKV

Moonlight but also deep shadows, almost beyond my camera this time. Badger watching in winter is not without its challenges. #badgermonday

This year's cub to the front, a difficult start but now almost as big as the adults with a nice fluffy winter coat. He or she has a narrower face and a pale tail compared to the others. #badgermonday

A bit keener than usual, I think they stayed inside the sett during Storm Claudia and had missed a meal. #badgermonday

Empty badger sett in Devon, one of many in this area. No signs of badgers here but two of the three local dairy farms have tb. #badgermonday

The enchanted forest doesn't have to be big. So nice to have the moonlight back again. #badgermonday

Some close up thermal imaging of a badger searching the autumn leaves for hidden morsels. Almost another eight weeks of close protection through this twisted policy to kill English wildlife. Other badgers have not been so lucky. #badgermonday

Drama at the sett, Mr Arbuckle was being crowded out and they were all after his breakfast. #badgermonday

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

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

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
