More nocturnal goings on

I have to say, the trailcam is providing a lot of fun. The animals were slightly wary of the LEDs at first but have got used to it being there. Behaviour patterns have become fairly unpredictable as the badgers now turn up just after dark and seem to stay all night. In fact one of them was still there just after 7.00 in the morning.

A couple of foxes turn up regularly, one of which gets a bit aggressive with the badgers. It's clearly nothing dangerous because two nights ago when it looked like it was starting a fight with one badger, the other just ignored it all and carried on eating about a metre away.

One of the most exciting things to see was the entire boar family lining up to be filmed. It's a screen-grab from a movie file, hence the lower quality, but impressive nonetheless. Still more shooting in the hills last weekend so again, I have no idea how many survivors to expect.
