Now we can see much further, we are seeing different kinds of behaviour. Here is another of those strange submissive reactions. It really looks like one is telling the other off.

Excuse the amateur operating the camera ;-)

08/06/2014 - So, this is the most savage badger fight we have witnessed yet. We are glad we don't see this often, but it is an important part of badger life it seems.

The badger at the bottom is the aggressor. The one at the top arrived a few minutes before and has largely ignored the one at the bottom (figured that would bore everyone). The one at the bottom has been staring (and probably growling - alas no mic tonight) at it throughout. The one at the top eventually has had enough of the intimidation, and kicks it off - and would appear to get the upper hand. Anyway, after a fair amount of throwing each other around, they run off into the night...hopefully neither too much the worse for the encounter.

12/05/2014 - Another scuffle here...a badger appears out of shot and appears to surprise the badger on the right. After some dancing around, they have a bit of a coming together, then it's a sprint to the fence!

Most of the 'bickering' we see between the badgers is between two, presumably male badgers. However, occasionally this seems to overflow, and the whole group get drawn in.

Group wrestle!

30/03/2014 - Time to get the microphone out again then, and as it happens, this evening featured some rather growly niggly fighty action from our badgers! You can see as soon as the second badger appears that these two don't like each other. Its interesting seeing how they interact with each other - one of them doesnt seem to want a fight, but won't back down either. There is another altercation in a following video. Quite menacing sounding indeed!

07-07-2015 - So this is the next day. The previous day, we had seen the worst fight we had ever seen here (our previous upload)...and today we see another, this time with three badgers getting involved.

This is unusual for us... we dont usually see this much aggression and its not great to watch really when its happening. We want to go outside and tell them to all behave nicely!

However they need to do what they need to do and although this seems quite violent, amazingly the other two badgers in shot just carry on scoffing!

Stay tuned for more like this, with audio too.
