Thank you so much for your posts!

A couple of days ago my husband and I went out to walk around the Head, to help clear our minds in this time of stress and uncertainty. It was a beautiful day, and we spent our time noticing not only the birds on the rocks and out at sea, but also the many tiny ants building their beautiful anthills, and other amazing insects. We saw critter holes, large and small, and wondered about what critters made those holes. Are there badgers out there? We heard the seals out on that island and hooted along with them.

The afternoon helped heal our souls.

Hi, Alice!

Yes! It's quite likely that you saw some badger diggings. It's not too hard to find evidence of badgers, but not so easy to see the badgers themselves. Still, I like knowing the badgers are around.
