On our walk, we looked at a badger sett.
Badgers eat lots of different foods. They are omnivorous. They eat honey, slugs, bird eggs, and more.
Badger setts are normally near a slope so water can drain away, keeping the set dry. The sett has more than one entrance; they are on different levels to keep air circulated. The setts are near a clearing. The setts are dug in sandy, limestone or chalk soil because it’s easy to dig in. Trees near the setts are used as scratching posts, so the badgers can keep their claws sharp.
The sett we found has six entrances, is dug in sandy soil and is on a slope.
