New homes for badgers at Hyndford

New homes for badgers at Hyndford

June 22, 2017
Last week at Hyndford Quarry three members of staff were busy building a new artificial sett for our resident badger family with help from local ecologist, John Derbyshire. The Badgers needed to be relocated away from our planned excavation area. It was a great opportunity to get the staff involved and learn about the badger’s habitat and they are now experts in identifying a Willow Warbler and a Yellow Hammer by bird song.
