The Badger Diaries

This book is a celebration of the badger. These wonderful animals create homes which they work hard to make, extend and modify as family circumstances demand. They adopt parental responsibilities in raising their families in a home and territory which they mark, protect and defend. They teach their youngsters the skills of life in a supervised setting which allows them to discover who is acceptable as a friend within the social hierarchy established where they are known, understood and recognised. This view of badger life and its reflection in our own is distilled from over forty years of fascination which has led to interest in everything from geology to bones: from ancient monuments to garden sheds; bovine tuberculosis to road kills; birdsong to berries & nuts....... its all here
