Young badgers pass by

This year's badger cubs - they have probably been allowed of the set for a few weeks now, but their mother usually only allows then above ground when they are quite well developed. 

These two seem very busy about their business. Their gait, tubby little bodies, small size and fluffy coats all point to their youthfulness.

Sunshine at Stourhead
