Badgers Holt

Badgers Holt Holiday let near Redruth in Central West Cornwall UK. Often described as 'A piece of Heaven'.

Modern bungalow on the site of the old dairy, sleep 4 in 2 bedrooms. Watch the badgers every night as the forage for peanuts on the lawn. Please note that the view on google earth is several years old and does not show the work that has been done over those years to the garden and parking area etc.

We normally have 5 or 6 badgers visit each evening for their peanuts and eggs but last night it was 7. Wonderful to see.

Lovely tonight to see 6 badgers up together. The 3 cubs are growing so fast, it won't be long until they catch up with the adults.

Introducing H***y Tonk and his Woman. She has laid 10 eggs so far in her nest, a few more and she should start sitting....

Introducing H***y Tonk and his Woman. She has laid 10 eggs so far in her nest, a few more and she should start sitting. Then it is a 30/35 day wait. 🤞

Today's visitor. He has been strutting his stuff in the fields for the last few weeks and today decided that the badgers water and bird food was to his liking. We have called him Emperor as it suits his superiority.

Mr and Mrs badger last night. The boar is the big fella behind, the sow is looking very pregnant. Badgers have their cubs in February, so any time soon. We will be waiting to see them in May when they come up to thehouse with mum and play while she eats. 😊

Some time ago I contacted DEFRA and requested that our badgers be included in the Cornwall Badger Vaccination Programme....

Some time ago I contacted DEFRA and requested that our badgers be included in the Cornwall Badger Vaccination Programme. Today an officer from APHA (the Animal & Plant Health Agency) visited and surveyed our sett and runs. He has set up 4 traps to start the process and will be back at 5 am. Once vaccinated they will be safe from the cull. ❤️

Yesterday we took time out to enjoy the sun at one of our favourite places. Polperro Cafe, The Lizard. Britain's most southerly cafe. Be it a cream tea, coffee and cake or a full fish meal, it's first class. Spectacular views, with birds, seals and the occasional dolphins. We'll worth a visit.

Looks like Mr Yaffle ie. the green woodpecker, is making himself a better entrance into one of the new boxes that we have put up.

Walking back to the house from the barn this evening and this fellow was busy eating his peanuts. I think the wind was making so much noise he didn't hear me and was far to busy to look up. So I stood there for a while filming, then walked off and he didn't even notice.
You can tell its a boar by the width of his head.

Yesterday we said goodbye to an old friend, who has worked very hard for many years. Thank you to local farmers/tractor enthusiasts Jason and Michael, who managed to move her despite not being able to drive her and she didn't fit the trailer without some persuasion. Proper job!
