Blast - I'll have to wait until morning, and it's only just Pub-time now.

Never seen a badger, and never will, but have loved 'em since Wind in the Willows..:(

Do you get to see Mole and Ratty and Toad and Otter too?

Well Holy S**t, I just saw a badger on the badgercam. I shouted downstairs to my wife and said "I just saw a badger, she said "but we don't have Badgers" I replied "no but they do in England". Wonderful thing this Internet. The last time I saw a Badger was about 30 years or so ago near Coniston, we were going out to the pub and a fellow passed us going the other way. He was walking this big funny looking dog, which when we got closer turned out to be Badger with a big leather strap around it's waist. He had had it since it was young, it's mother got killed somehow and he had reared it. JohnB

It's only there from 6 pm to 1 am UK time, kat- I missed it too! Try again tonight.

I was lucky enough to see a real live badger walk across my garden only 6 feet away from me on mayday morning- lovely.

Thanks, Roger.

Well Roger, it certainly wasn't me giving it rave reviews, since I have no idea what you are talking about!!

Well, Kim, you're gonna love the Lifehouse CD! "Everything" is me and my girl's song...we both ended up crying last night when I sang it to her on the phone.

Fun facts: Jason wrote "Breathing" when he was 17, and "Trying To Find A Way" (about his parents' divorce) when he was 15. He's 20 now.

Despite "Everything" being "our" song...my other absolute favorite is "Cling & Clatter". You won't get it out of your head for days and days...

Very kewl badger cam!! Thanks! Tuned in just in time to hear the birds' evensong, see two badgers in the distance, foraging about, a squirrel up close and personal a large bird swoop down and pick about in the middle of it all! Just lovely!

We were always warned to be very wary of badgers, as children hiking about in Colorado. We were told they were fierce and ferocious fighters who would never let go. I saw one, once, while walking with our dog, when I was 13. I ran so fast to get away, dragging my dog, because of course, being a terrier, he wasn't afraid of anything!

The only other time I've seen one was a couple of years ago, in the fall. We were out on the prairie, near a creek, enjoying a drive, when a huge one ambled across the road in front of us. He even paused partway and stared at us as if to say, "Oh, yeah? It's MY road, you can wait!" Loved that attitude!

Thanks!

I like bagers - never forget the night we had to stop very quickly because there was a whole family of badgers walking down the road.

ACTUALLY, you're thinking of an Ichenuemon Wasp. An ichenuemon is a kind of ferret.

"Yella House"? Do you mean Coldplay, or Lifehouse?

Just in case you can't sleep why not play spot the badger here . Not much happens (its a bit like watching that Blair Witch film) but there is bird song and other mysterious sounds.
