Roe deer pile up and badger encounter. Badgers appear fine. 1st February 2026

A rather eventful week of footage, though in a good sense.

Our weather this week has been a usual mixture of rain, frost, heavy rain, mild temperatures, and yet more rain. Our badgers at Badger Manor have been reasonably active through all of this, and getting up to some curious behaviours. Quite a lot of baffling behaviours, such that I will split this latest update across a number of days.

However, firstly Roe deer. I've had an unusual pile of Roe deer. Two females and one male entered the main sett area. With superb timing, we have this encounter between our female badger and a roe deer.

Matters get even more interesting when this encounter is viewed from a trail cam set up behind the main sett entrance.

A couple or so minutes earlier, we have a Roe deer pile up...

...where one takes a keen interest in a trail cam.

That's all for this update. I promise badgers next.
