Footage of baby badgers at play
Doogs Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:50 pm
From the BBC Scotland Website:-
10 August 2012
Help Wildlife experts say there are hopes the relatively mild winter has been good news for Scotland's badgers, with higher than usual numbers of cubs being born this year.
These pictures show a family or "clan" with a total of five cubs at a secret location in a wood owned by Woodland Trust Scotland.
Badgers usually have no more than three cubs, but numbers fell sharply following severe winter weather in previous years.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) say badgers prosper in warm, wet conditions and this summer has been ideal.
But the SWT has warned crimes against badgers in some parts of Scotland remain at unacceptably high levels.

Doogs that was brilliant 
, and its good to know the Badgers are not under threat in Scotland as well, and they want the numbers to build upWS

Brilliant clips Doogs. Lovely to see so many badgers together. Sad to read the bit about crimes against badgers though

What a really lovely clip of the little Badgers and didn't they appear really fluffy coated. It was so nice to see them having fun
As Lai and WS say though, very sad to read the bit about crimes to Badgers.
