Our Badgers O n our first night in our new home, we had a full moon. As I looked out, I saw a shadowy grey shape on the lawn. It did not take long to realise that it was a badger. I have always wanted to live somewhere where wild creatures would be free to visit whenever they pleased. Since that night, I have been putting out scraps of food and making peanut butter sandwiches for them. I read somewhere that badgers like peanut butter and found this to be true. Not only that but foxes like them, too! We now have as many as nine badgers that appear from time to time. We have never seen more than five at any one time but, as we are beginning to recognise them, we know that there are more. Their set is about 500 metres away from us. O ur badgers come right up the steps of the patio to eat any food that has been left out for them. They don't mind the lights but are aware of any movement or noise from inside the lounge. T his is a picture of one of our badgers. It is a particularly grey one. We have one, called Charlie Brown, who has a distinct browny shade.

Contact News £2,000 fine for attack on badger sett (29/01/2003) A deliberate attack on a badger sett during the badger's breeding season has earned a £2,000 fine for the woman responsible. The fine was imposed as a result of a successful prosecution under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. The offence took place on March 10th last year. With the assistance of workmen, Mrs Patricia Cohen of Cromwell Road SW7, cut down a number of trees and filled in several entrances to a badger sett, in the garden of a premises which she owned in Kingston Upon Thames. The police were called to the scene, and found that large logs had been placed over several entrances to the badger sett. Another sett entrance had been filled in using heavy soil. In addition, creosote had been poured over the area. Badgers and their setts are protected by the Protection of Badgers Act 1992. Under this Act it is a criminal offence to disturb, damage, destroy or obstruct a badger sett.

Contact News Protected sett attacked by badger diggers (23/03/2004) The lengths to which some badger diggers will go to harm badgers has been dramatically illustrated by a recent attack on a specially protected sett in the Wakefield area. One of the greatest threats facing badgers in many parts of Yorkshire is badger digging and baiting. The Wakefield Badger Group has therefore built numerous artificial setts to protect local badgers against such attacks. Various materials have been used to construct the setts, including heavy-duty plastic pipes for the tunnels and breeze-blocks and paving slabs for the chambers. The Badger Group's artificial setts are usually impenetrable, but in mid March the Group found a severely damaged artificial sett in one of the District's favourite countryside spots. The group's Field Officer said: "The diggers have gone to great lengths to break in to the sett. An attempt to penetrate the pipe was abandoned but they eventually smashed their way right into the chamber. The sett is now wide open. We will be repairing the sett as soon as possible because we know from experience that they will be back to have another dig." Although badgers had been using this sett since it's construction it was only in recent months that activity had increased, much to the delight of group members. The matter is now being investigated by the police and a rigorous programme of sett checking has been instigated. A joint operation with Wakefield Council's Countryside Service is being planned to repair and protect the sett.

68. Badgers In The Welsh Countryside badger (Meles meles). A badger sett comprises a complex system of tunnels,often twenty metres long and as deep as three metres below the surface. http://www.fishing-in-wales.com/wildlife/mammals/badger.htm

Badger (Meles meles) Wildlife index Amphibians Birds Fishes Fungi ... restoration SEARCH Badgers are found throughout England, Wales and Scotland, but the countryside of Wales and its relatively mild climate suit them particularly well. They particularly favour wooded areas with grassland alongside, and this makes West Wales in particular a very good place to go if you hope to see a badger in the wild. Badgers vary greatly in size, with an adult head and body length of 60 to 90 cm; they weight between 7 and 24 kg. Most of the daytime, badgers remain underground, either in natural crevices or, most commonly, in tunnels, called setts, which they excavate. Several families of badgers may share such a home. A badger sett comprises a complex system of tunnels, often twenty metres long and as deep as three metres below the surface. Where their tunnels are only shallow, they sometimes push rocks up above the surface, and harvesting machinery is sometimes damaged as a result of the rotating blades or drums hitting rocks hidden among the corn. Although badgers eat worms, frogs, birds' eggs, and small mammals and even carrion, they also forage for roots and berries. Because their diet it so varied, badgers do not need to travel great distances when out on their nocturnal feeding forays, and it is rare for them to go more than a few kilometres from their home.

Also known as North American badger. What is the scientific name? Taxidea taxus Pronounced tax-EYE-dee-a TAX-us What does it mean? "Appears like a badger, badger." Taxidea is a combination of the New Latin word, taxus, meaning "badger" and the Greek word "idea," which means appearance. Why is it called a "badger?" Do they really badger other animals? People? No, in fact it is just the opposite. The current definition of the verb "badger," which means to "pester" someone, derives from the practice of an early European sport of baiting badgers. The badger reportedly gets its name from its distinctive facial markings. While most of us think of a "badge" as being something a policeman wears, another definition of "badge" is "any characteristic mark" and the badger is readily identified by its striped facial markings (Whitaker 1980 Where are they located?

Badger facts The badger is a handsome wild animal with a distinctive appearance, and yet because it is a nocturnal animal, very few people have ever seen one. BADGER FEATURES Badgers are easy to identify. They have a greyish body, dark haired legs and underparts and a white head with a dark stripe over the eye on both sides. The average length of an adult badger is 69 - 71 cm., making it one of the larger wild animals in Britain. Badgers are powerfully built with short but very strong limbs and sharp clawed feet. The small head, short neck, long wedge shaped body, and a very short tail make badgers excellent diggers, able to move heavy material in confined spaces. They have poor eyesight as they are nocturnal and most of their time is spent underground in their setts, however their poor eyesight is compensated for by their acute hearing and excellent sense of smell. Badgers are very heavy for their size. Their weight changes frequently depending on the food available in their area, and also on the time of year. On average an adult badger will weigh between 6.5 and 13.9 kilograms. HABITAT Badgers are scattered around Great Britain, being most common in the south and south western counties of England and Wales.

Badger Status: British Columbia Red List Badger Taxidea taxus Weight: 6-14 kg; length: 65-90 cm. Badgers are one of the largest members of the weasel family. Stout, shaggy animals with distinctive black and white facial markings and a short tail. Black fur around the eyes and on the side of the snout, and a triangular black patch, surrounded by white fur on the side of the face; grey to brown body fur with lighter undersides. Maximum lifespan is approximately 14 years. Habitat map not available. Special Significance The Badger is at risk in British Columbia because the amount of suitable habitat is small and has been adversely affected by human activity. Key areas of low elevation grasslands and open pine or fir forests have been lost. The small British Columbia population is vulnerable to regional and provincial extirpation. This burrowing mammal may play an important role controlling rodents that cause pasture or cropland damage. The continued survival of Badger populations in British Columbia requires establishment of protected areas, responsible stewardship of ranges used for cattle grazing, appropriate forest management practices, a reduction in the use of rodenticides and an increased understanding of this interesting animal. Distribution In British Columbia, Badgers occur in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, Thompson River, Nicola Valley, and East Kootenay areas; a few Badgers have been noted in the South Cariboo, West Kootenay and eastern Chilcotin. Elevational range within British Columbia is 400 to 1500 metres, and occasionally up to 2400 metres.

Employment November 8th 2003 Controversial UK badger killings analyzed by UC Davis expert University of California - Davis A UC Davis professor is co-author of a report released in Great Britain that says the controversial practice of killing wild badgers to prevent tuberculosis in cattle apparently does no good and may make matters worse. Rosie Woodroffe, UC Davis assistant professor of conservation biology, is an authority on the biology of the European badger ( Meles meles ). The new report, commissioned by the British Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), is sure to be widely discussed in the UK, particularly by farming interests and badger protectionists. Those groups have battled for 30 years over the role that wild badgers may play as reservoirs and vectors of bovine tuberculosis, which can be transmitted through unpasteurized milk to people. "
