I've just seen my first ever badger!

In the park! Small, fluffy and adorable!

Passing driver even wound his window down to comment

Oh wow, Ive never ever seen one.

I saw a dead one once and it was bloody massive. Like large dog size.

I'm jealous. I've never seen one.

They are lovely creatures- I had one in the back garden of a house I lived in about 25 years ago.

Reminds me that we should never be having a badger cull.

Aww I've never seen a badger!

Saw my first fox last year, was so surprised how small and almost cat-like it was.

We used to have a black and white cat years ago. DH spotted a black and white body at the back door one evening and went to let the cat in. Thankfully he realised the cat was in before he opened the door for the badger.
Stunning creatures. But I wouldn’t want to have one in the house!

I'm amazed so few people have seen a badger. They are so common where we live

Have seen so many dead ones over the last few weeks, this has cheered me right up!

Ghastly vicious animals; completely trashed our garden and killed our cat. Cause havoc if you bump your car into one. Lots of dead ones on the roads near us at moment.

I remember the first time I saw a badger - I was so disappointed the stripes didn't go all the way down its back too many illustrated stories as a child I think

I thought the same about the stripes

They eat hedgehogs.

I was once driving back from a wedding in rural Northumberland on a single track road in the middle of the night... 2 badgers having an evening stroll, they were huge! I ended up following them for ages, driving so so slowly! Eventually they took a right into a field!

They are amazing creatures! I usually see dead ones on the edge of dual carriage way now...wouldn’t want to hit one at full speed. It would do some damage!

There are loads where I live, but I've only ever seen them after they've been killed on the roads. I'd love to see a live one.

I love badger and see far too many dead ones. However, small, fluffy and adorable are not words I would ever use to describe one.

I was driving along a rural road this summer at around midnight when a massive one slowly lolloped over the road

It was very big and very slow

My son was staying a couple of years ago and noticed one on the patio one evening. Since then I have put out peanuts and/or badger pellets each night, and they are regular visitors.
