I found a badger set just around the corner from where I live and tonight the mother brought two cubs with her .They spent around an hour digging some of the lawn up looking for worms but who cares its only grass :lol:

I have yet to see a live badger in the wild - our lawn has played host to foxes, hedgehogs, moles, adders, frogs and newts. :D

Don't let on to Mr.S...

Imagine him licking his lips, putting on his deerstalker, gun under his arm & quickly grabbing shotgun cartridges....

Depending on the Pasty's density and hardness of crust after a day it could be useful as a missile to ward off intruders.
