Thanks Beebeeelas and everyone for the tips - here it is! What do you think? I have to confess that I did get a little bit of help from my friends in the Wildlife Watch gang...
And well done Swanita for completing the fun run on Halloween and helping to raise money for The Wildlife Trusts. I hope you had a good day. Did you dress up as anything? All my trick-or-treat goodies got eaten up, but mainly by my other badger friends. No humans came to my sett for them for some reason...

Guess what - I've got a pumpkin to carve!
I'm going to spend all night tonight designing and carving my pumpkin into something cool. My badger claws should be perfect for the job. I'll take a photograph to show you all next week - are you going to make one too?
I've even collected lots of goodies to offer to any trick-or-treaters that call. It will be hard to give them away, but I suppose it's tradition! I've got slippery earthworms, juicy grubs, fat slugs and crunchy beetles - what more could you ask for! Would you like some?

I haven't seen any redwings or fieldfares yet, although I keep looking. Lots of lovely geese are flying over my sett in formation at the moment though. They spell out giant letters in the sky.
Hee hee - did anybody see Mrs Bitey nibble on Chris Packham's fingers last night? Naughty polecat! We badgers have much better manners than that (unless you wake us up, or poke us, or tease us about our smell).

Crikey - that was a long nap, wasn't it? What have I missed? Ooh, I know. Autumnwatch has started! Yay! And it's inspired me to take a closer look at spiders. Their webs are so cleverly made. Watch the garden spider in this video as it weaves silky threads together in a spiral shape.
You've all been spotting cool autumn wildlife like foxes and badgers, and planting conkers! Autumnwatch told us about how horse chestnut trees are struggling at the moment, so nurturing some little saplings of our own could really help! I think I might go and snuffle out some conkers too...

Hello everyone. Brrrrrr - it's getting a bit cold and wet isn't it? Good job I've got a nice furry coat and a warm sett to sleep in. My paws are getting all muddy and dirty snuffling around in the hedgerows and woods but I do like the autumn as there is lots of yummy fruit to eat that has fallen from the trees.
We badgers eat all sorts and I especially like apples - humans seem to leave so many of them lying around on the floor - still I'm not complaining, more food for me! Soon hungry birds like fieldfares and thrushes will be arriving from Europe with empty stomachs and they'll start eating them too so I'd better fill up now while I can (but I don't mind sharing really)!
(Yawn) I'm starting to feel a bit tired with all this cold weather so I think I'm going to go and have a nap and warm up a bit.
Bye Ottero, Voleyi, Swiftafa, Cloakea and everyone else - see you soon. Happy autumn nature detecting Wildlife Watchers!

Hi everyone, today I went on a walk on some heather moorland and along the walk there were signs telling you about wildlife that had been seen on the moors before. One of the birds was a Red Grouse. To our surprise, as we were walking at the edge of the heather, we saw two fly out!! It was really good because I had never seen one before. We also saw some Gorse.
happy new year ! even though i`m not well i did see lots of birds in walsall arboretum this morning when my friend came and took me . ,80+ blackheaded gulls, 99 mallard,13 tufted duck,7 moorhen,22 canada geese,1 muscovy duck, 11 feral pigeon, heard a wren,2 woodpigeon and 2 crows. the arbo has been transformed now and looks really good so i did my wetland bird count while i was there .. also my friend and i saw winter jasmine in flower. before we went to the arbo i did see a crow on the lawn enjoying pecking the meat off a chicken leg! how it got there i dont know but crow was enjoying it !.
