Yet more bedding brought in. At least two chambers and entrances. 30th November 2025

I am now convinced that the main sett complex has more than one entrance, and possibly has at least two chambers. Having more than two entrances (and exits) explains where I see badgers leaving during the evening or night, not returning the next morning, but exiting the sett in the evening.

The evidence for more than one chamber is a little weak. In this next video, a badger is seen to go from a chamber on the right, across the main sett entrance,  and disappear to the left. It is possible that there is no chamber on the left, and the badger is simply using a long tunnel to get to an entrance on the left of the sett complex.  I have found an entrance on the left, but it is about 15-20 feet from the main entrance.

Also, I have not seen a badger moving bedding to the left of and via the main entrance. All bedding goes to the right. However, I have occasionally seen (twice in a year) seen a badger moving bedding to the far left of this main entrance. Hmm, me thinks time to try and get a trail cam on the left of the main entrance.

Now for cute videos. Badger bringing in bedding, one of five loads. This on top of twelve loads last week.  Then a bit of a push and shove for our pair of badgers to exit the sett.

Badger setts can be magnets for many animals, in part due to the clearing badgers form in and around their setts. Deer tend to enter this area as they think they can get through to a field behind the sett. In this case a Muntjac.

A first is a male pheasant entering this area.
