I have been monitoring the sett of the badger pair for many months. The sett is a long hike away – about 8 kilometers on foot, first up a hill, then across a sprawling ridge with fields on top, and then through a distant part of the forest. It’s a whole day undertaking to hike … Continue reading “Sett of Badger Pair Intruded Upon by Large Boar Looking to Mate with Sow”

Compilation of European Badgers Caught on Trail Cam at Sett Entrance in Fall
This is the first video I produced which contains animal footage only, without my talking. I also kept the original audio recorded by the trail camera, without using a music track. If it looks like it’s more appreciated than the way I made my previous videos, I will make more of these. The video is … Continue reading “Compilation of European Badgers Caught on Trail Cam at Sett Entrance in Fall”
Injured Badger Hole Saga Takes Unexpected Turn
My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole saga went on for 14 episodes. I have concluded the adventure in Episode 13, but made one more episode in order to return the area to the state it was in before I started my attempt to save the life of the injured badger. That was it, and … Continue reading “Injured Badger Hole Saga Takes Unexpected Turn”
My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 14
So that’s it. I’m officially calling it quits on My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole. Until further notice, Episode 14 will be the last episode of the series. As much as it pains me to admit it, everything seems to suggest that my mission to save the life of the injured badger has failed. … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 14”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 13
My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole are winding down. I started the series right after finding out the badger was injured. I didn’t know how it’s gonna end and I wish it would have ended differently. I did all that was in my power to help save the badger’s life, but it would seem … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 13”
My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 12
I started Day 16 of My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole by going through the forest in a -16 degrees Celsius cold weather. The presence of two numbers 16 is purely coincidental. Walk Through the Woods As explained in Episode 09 of the Adventures, prior to the winter’s deep freeze, I used to go … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 12”
My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 11
The forest where I live is not all that big. It’s about 10km by 6km in size, which is not large enough for large predatory animals, like the bears, lynx or wolves. There is a more expansive forest about 30km from me, which is more than a 100km across, and that’s already large enough so … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 11”
My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 10
The dominant feature of Episode Ten of My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole is a loud roar of an elusive animal. I speculate in the video that it could be a deer, as roe deer (Capreolus Capreolus) are known to bark like that, but alarm calls made by red foxes (Vulpes Vulpes) can also … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 10”
