It's always exciting finding a new sett and putting a trail cam out, Even better when it has two cutie cubs :)

Our first West Lothian cub this year. Sadly after looking cute for a bit he decided to "badger" the camera. After that all I got were pigeons!......

Before I got a trail camera I had no clue that this was going on at the top of my garden in the middle of the night, about 15 metres from where I am asleep in my bed!
