The last couple of weeks at the badger sett have been pretty normal stuff. The badgers are backwards and forwards most nights and Muntjac have been regular visitors. In fact this Muntjac looked like it was going down into the sett!

Pretty quiet for the WeBS count this morning:

Common Tern 18
Cormorant 1
Grey Heron 1

Mallard 15 Also 5 ducklings with no adult present. 2 of the adults recorded had 10 and 2 ducklings.
Mute Swan 13 One of the swans carried Orange Darvic 744.
Oystercatcher 1
Skylark 3
Total number of species: 9 Individuals: 55
I also had a party of 22 Swallows through north west and another 3 local birds, probably from the stables across the road. Some of the other species recorded were:
A flyover Lapwing
2 Common Whitethroats
3 Blackcaps
2 Chiffchaffs
1 Garden Warbler
2 Reed Buntings
1 Sedge Warbler
No Otter this morning but I did see one near the island on the river at the south east corner of the park on Friday morning (18/05).

This week at the badger sett
I moved the camera last week. It's still looking over the same area but slightly set back and higher up. I may have to rethink this as the clips are a little dark but it does give a good overview of the sett.
Lots of comings and goings this week at the Badger sett. The following clips show some of the interactions between the badgers, with the final one showing some play fighting.
Not sure whether it was the new camera location making it better able to capture the passing Muntjac, or whether there were just more muntjac around but the following is a selection of the Muntjac clips this week. the second one shows one passing a badger and the third one has a great backing track from a singing Blackcap.
Finally a brief clip of the Roe Deer passing through again.
