Badger-watching
Since returning from Africa at the start of the 70s, I have watched badgers, and anything else around in woods at night. When I own up to this somewhat strange activity, new acquaintances have that look in the eye which says "We've got an odd one here!" However, there are good reasons for spending time in woods night and day, as I explain here.
For a year, I wrote the following accounts of my badger-watching sessions for the alt.rec.badgers newsgroup. Many people across the world have emailed me in appreciation or asking questions about badgers. Some people want to see badgers for themselves, and these pages answer many questions on how to do it.
