The unexplained saga surrounding the newly appeared holes near the sett of the injured badger remains a mystery. The trail cam footage recorded so far hasn't shed much light on who built the new den to live there.
A pair of foxes showed up several times and snooped around, but none of them went in or out. Leastways not in or out of the double hole I had my second trail camera pointed at.
However after all this time visiting the injured badger's hole and never seeing any animal other than the resident rat enter or exit, there was finally a visitor who did go in.
I was truly expecting to see an animal go in or out of the new holes, and instead I got a renewed activity in the injured badger's hole.
