My phone rang at 0715 this morning to inform me that a badger had been seriously injured by a vehicle in Kirkheaton. The Kirklees Badger Group were quick to respond and hauled it off to the vet but, sadly, it had to be put to sleep.
When I got back to my garden, this little fellow was having his breakfast under one of our spruce trees. Unfortunately, he chose to eat surrounded by bits and pieces of garden paraphernalia so I’ve blackened the edges to concentrate the eye.
