A much bigger cub makes an appearance under its own steam. 28th March 2026

Our badger cub has grown considerably since we last saw it being swung around unceremoniously by its mother on the 23rd February. This time, the cub was led out by its mother. I'm not sure what the sow was doing. Possibly introducing her cub to the big bad world.

Possibly taking her cub to another sett. The badgers did abandon this sett last May, only to come back in September or October. So I don't know if Badger Manor is a main sett complex. Out badgers simply coming here for the winter.

The cub would not have managed to travel far, if the sow was intending to take it to another sett complex. I think, nay hoping, the cub was ushered back into the sett by the sow. You see, my trail cams sleep for 30 seconds after taking a video. The cub would not have gone far in 30 seconds, so the trail cam would have triggered again. It didn't.
