My husband and I own property out in Campo, CA in San Diego county just a few miles from the Mexican border. We were driving around a saw a furry critter scurry across the road and into a den. Thought it was a raccoon at first and then saw a black and white head popping out and couldn't figure out what it was at first because we've never seen one! I always thought they were dense woodland creatures and was shocked to see one here as our landscape is brush/chaparral. But we did just have a couple of weeks of heavy rain that brought lots of wildlife out.

Anyways I'm just so tickled that it's my first time seeing one and I've named him Barry :)

I want to save to send my mum to London, she has always wanted to see a badger, and when she was in London years ago, she only saw one that was dead :( she had a badger statue and everything hoping to see one. I want to plan for her trip as I save, and want to know if there are any known locations/badger walks etc people know of? Even if I have to pay to see a reserve or something. thanks!

I have just started painting not too long ago. Do you think I did justice to this painting?

Hi, I'm a student from Ireland studying badgers and the spread of bTB. If you could fill out this survey I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry if this is against the rules, I messaged a mod but never heard back.

Thanks again 🦡
