While up doing a badger sett survey on our land at Lumsdaine I was lucky enough to spot a couple of badger footprints at the entrance to a sett. The footprints are just to the left of the patch of sunlight. Like all of the mustelid family, which includes otter, stoat and wolverine amongst others, badgers have five toes. It looks like there are only 4 toes from this picture, but the smallest toe sometimes doesn't leave an indentation in rough ground. Lizy
