Wow, what tufted ears!

No doubt celebrating the cancellation of the nuclear power station.

Keep e'm coming.

Cluny House Gardens in the Tay valley, not sure if it's actually Glen Tay.

They have a large population of red Squirrels, apparently they leap from tree to tree, visiting photographers have been seen lying on the drive in the hope of seeing them leap between the trees. Some spectacular images have resulted.

Mr (or Mrs) Mole?

Like you say, a rare sighting.

There is a Badger set within a mile of here, I have access to the land but I have never yet seen a Badger. I can see where they have been trails in the wood but the actual Badgers seem to be invisible. Is there a 'better' time to visit the vicinity of the set? Like late at night, or early in the morning? I have seen deer browsing nearby but only briefly.

Try going a bit before twilight Robert and take some peanuts with you. If you know where the set is put them close to the set and sit and wait.

Good luck.

Thanks Iain, salted or plain? LOL

Are they likely to be bothered if they see me? I have seen Badgers in the lanes, they amble along and don't seem too stressed, just get out of the way once there is room to go through a gate or up a side road.

See way too many of them on the side of the main road, hit by cars.
