No more badgers, deer or tracks for me for a couple of weeks. I’m off on holiday to the ancient rocky druid shore of Anglesey.
H.E. Forrest, in 1907, wrote that badgers were not indigenous to Anglesey, although he knew of one sett, the badgers having apparently walked over the Menai Bridge. Even so, there’ll be plenty to keep me occupied, from seals to adders, choughs to ravens. I was lucky enough to see a minke whale from the shore here a couple of years ago, and I’ve love to repeat that sighting.
Who knows, if I find time on my hands I may even see if I can get close to some of the red squirrels in the woods at the southwest of the island…
Have a great holiday. I’m sure your local badgers will be glad of the rest! ha ha.
The Red Squirrels are a must-see. I’ve only ever seen them in the Isle of Wight. They should be getting their autumn ear-tufts now as well.
Pablo.
