Three badgers in the rain.

It's late March. It's still cold and a sleety rain is falling! But there is badger activity throughout the night starting quite early.

Cheeky and Stripe badger (Stripe is sitting down) - both are easing snacks out from under the plastic dishes. 

There be three Badgers on a mossy stone

Beside a dark and covered way:

Each dreams himself a monarch on his throne,

And so they stay and stay -

From 'The Three Badgers' by Lewis Carroll.

There was a young badger from Bath

Who was always up for a laugh

When she fancied a snack

She rolled on her back

And called for cheese and a half.
