A video of the Latvian badgers, from spring to the All Souls time 2016. It is especially nice to see at the end of the video the badger on the doorstep of his burrow on St Martin’s day this year. The snow keeps falling, the badger sits calmly and does not even think of creeping into the burrow. We also see in the video, in addition to the four badgers, hazel grouse, raccoon dogs, a wolf and other animals. The video is recorded in the Mežaparks ground, with 9 cameras at three setts.

In the Latvian badger cameras it has been noted that badgers are not only twilight creatures but can also come out on a warm summer day to enjoy the sun and groom the coat. The Latvians are also using the camera to study the hierarchy of the clan; evidently we will hear more about this in the future.
