Sent this message to Marcus Kohler and Doug Radford after a great night at Fowlmere…
“Took Michelle and the boys to see the Foxes just before 8pm. Five young play-fighting around the den. Kids (and Michelle) loved it and watched for nearly an hour. Walking back to the car along the boardwalk when it was nearly dark (lots of bats), we heard what we first thought were two dogs fighting on the path that runs parallel. As they whizzed past us (heading the opposite way), we realised that they were Badgers! Fortunately we were at the part half way along the walk where it is easy to get to the track. We then watched a very noise but brief fight, before one of the badgers continued on its way. The other turned around and came running back along the path in our direction. Just before reaching us it froze as we were blocking its route. It watched us watching it for a few seconds before scampering off into the undergrowth by the fields. Great night! A Barn Owl just outside Foxton on the way home topped it off.”
