Badger webcam

Our live wildlife cameras provides a unique wildlife experience, giving you a chance to see what our badgers get up to during the night. 

Badgers are mostly nocturnal, so they typically emerge at dusk, shortly after sunset, though this can vary with season and weather. In warmer months they may appear a bit later, and in colder or darker conditions sometimes earlier.

Once out of their sett, they spend the night foraging and socialising. A large part of their time is spent searching for food such as earthworms (their main staple), insects, fruit, roots and occasionally small animals. They move along well-used paths known as latrines and trails, often covering a surprising distance for their size.

Badgers are also very social animals. At night you’ll often see them grooming, playing and interacting within their clan, especially between adults and cubs. They may also patrol their territory, scent mark boundaries and maintain their sett by bringing in fresh bedding such as grass and leaves.

They usually return underground before dawn to rest during the day.
