Badgers dig a complex labyrinth of tunnels and chambers to form their sett, usually on a well drained slope. Some chambers maybe just a metre or so below the surface while others can be three or four metres deep.

To observe a wild badger family in Devon two high resolution, infra red sensitive cameras have been placed underground looking into two chambers.
The largest chamber measures about two badger lengths in diameter (approx. 1.5 metres) and is watched by one camera.
The smaller chamber is just over one badger length in diameter, (approx. 75cm), and also has a cameras positioned to observe their behaviour. The chambers are connected by a tunnel and seem to be just over two metres apart.

Below are a selection of the latest images from the sett, they are automatically updated when badgers enter these chambers. This usually happens every evening with visits lasting into the night. The recent bad weather has interrupted the video feed, normal service will be resumed shortly! More about this on the NEWS page. Meanwhile you can watch a video here...
