A #Badger cub (Meles meles) from my archive. If I recall correctly, this is the one who eventually came right up to where I was standing, so close that their nose made contact with my shoe! He or she beat a hasty retreat after picking up my human scent, but what a moment that was - one of many ‘close encounters of the furred kind’ I have experienced over the years.
