Badger!

Whilst watching a very close young Fallow Deer (there were several others nearby as well as the usual Munjac), a Badger walked in to the open on the main track. Although it was seen for less than a minute it was at close range. The first I've seen (alive!) for a few years. A Barn Owl also flew over the same spot and was heard screeching later. At least three Tawny Owls were also heard.

Earlier in the day, several Common Darter and a single Migrant Hawker were seen in the Botanic Gardens in Cambridge.
