May 2025 Evening Wildlife Watching Hide Update
The Badgers are coming to the hide much later, with the daylight hours extending until after 10 pm, we have adjusted our start time and this can mean some very late nights. One night after 11 pm, a female Badger walked in and was transitioning into her summer coat. Her fur was mostly blonde, but with a grey patch spreading down the neck. I explained to the guests that the grey patch was the summer coat coming through and it looks a deeper silvery grey than its winter coat.
