My mum has just started getting visits from badgers.

In laws been getting them and foxes for ages, and they're near to you.

Badgers have a habit of tearing up bits of lawn, so beware, they're spreading.

My dog has started digging holes everywhere too, she's becoming a fucking nuisance.

Death wish job that!

Stories now of them taking lambs like foxes do.

Fascinating creatures really, but wouldn't mess with one.

yep,  one didn't come out after him fortunately, but I'm assuming he must have seen one in there, judging by the speed that he pegged it past me, with his tail between his legs

We see quite a lot dead at the side of the road around here, they're big fuckers, with huge claws.

Or maybe the badger just looked up from his paper, drew a lungful of pipe smoke and said, “Fuck off, dog or I’ll twat you!”

Mate of mine had trouble with badgers for years, digging up his lawn on a regular basis. He got a couple of those High Frequency Sound Emitters that people use to keep cats away, and he hasn't had any trouble since.

Always had pugs as a kid

One would never back off from anything but one night he went out for his late night empty which used to take about 10 mins

This one night as i shut the back door he thudded into it, like head first

Odd as it was i stuck tbig light on and saw a hedgehog

Can only think hed stuck his face in there

Have you had a dog that's licked a toad?

As a youngster one of ours did, and the results are quick, and initially scary..

Place up your neck of the woods does them.

There is a sign outside, yet, apart from a phone number, the internet yields very little information.

All a bit mysterious- as if they're putting barriers up.

Where's my neck of the woods?

These 2 are regular visitors to my back fence , the badger is quite brave and you have to make a din for him to scarper , the Fox is very apprehensive  and you have to creep up on him .

It was an interesting confrontation when the Badger turned up as the Fox was tucking in .

We had a fox coming and shitting in our garden. Read somewhere if you spray your piss around the perimeter of the garden it keeps them out. Summat to do with alpha/apex predators or some such bollox. 
 

Anyway spent a couple of days pissing in a spray bottle and when I had enough I went to town and sprayed it all round the garden. 
 

No sign of the fox. Job done.
 

Then about three weeks later, nipper is playing in the garden and tells me there’s a funny smell over in the playground bit. Took a look and found a decomposing fox jammed right under the bottom of the slide. Maggots, the works. 
 

Can only conclude my piss is lethal to foxes. I should bottle and sell the stuff.

Out of interest...

How big of a bottle of piss do you need to cover a garden big enough not notice a dead fox before the maggots take up residence?? 😁

Think you need to hydrate

[Leyther_Matt]

Does it smell like sugar puffs, @mickbrown?

Also the weather could really do with making it’s mind up in That London this weekend.

Packed for all weathers and now my bag looks like I’m off backpacking for a month.

It’d rammed itself right under the bottom of the slide. Couldn’t see it. Was the smell that gave it away

Aye. It was rank by the time I’d finished filling the bottle. Had solids suspended in it
