What is this. Fox, badger or what?


Recommended Posts

That's a Hobbit hole that is !Seriously it looks like its not in use much, to identify the culprit look close and careful for hair in the walls of the tunnel Badger or fox the difference is obvious (your only looking for one or two), is bedding pulled out to air ever is there often fresh scrapings of earth as (badgers do this foxes don't), no bits of birds etc about and more likely its badger as foxes are untidy. Badgers are a member of the weasel family has five toes and a wider print foxes have four and are slim like a small dog any prints about? Last but not least have a sniff foxes have a certain odour once you know it.Never discount an earth or set that looks abandoned, foxes in particular move about between homes and Badgers often move in were they were not the week before due to expanding populations. This one however does look empty

Again another good answer from you kent. Cheers. And I haven't forgot about your offer just been flat out at work lately. I will be putting in for FAC soon so I will come up and see you before if the offer still stands. Cheers

I remember watching one of the early Superman films that they put on kid's Saturday morning pictures in the 50's when I was about five years old and one episode centred on 'orrible scary creatures living under the ground and coming out of holes just like the one shown above.

 

I'm going to have those same bloody nightmares all over again now!

No problem. Grass is just being cut now so you can see stuff but grounds a bit to hard from the sun

Is it in an area water can drain to?

Its a small sink hole - too many large gravel/stone pieces left in the hole which means its water washed. It will link to an underground system and grow - I'd tell the farmer as you never know how big a hole is under there and how far it goes.
