Funny Badger


Badgers that had been evicted from their sett two months ago after burrowing beneath a road have managed to find their way back to it. Despite having being drugged, caught and rehomed in another area, the badgers had returned yesterday to their network of tunnels stretching under a road and footpath in Cumnor Hill, west Oxford.
The animals were evicted in October after Oxfordshire county council obtained a licence to remove the protected species. The relocation took place after it was discovered that a section of the footpath and carriageway had been undermined when the badgers extended their network of tunnels.
Oxfordshire Highways, the county council department responsible for the work, applied for a licence from Natural England to close the sett throughout September and October. But, now the animals have reoccupied the land around their original home, Natural England.
