BADGER BLOG - IONOS, our website hosting company, informed us yesterday that our contract with them expires next Thursday, 8th May.  How quickly time flies !  Sadly, this means that our website will be no more.  

However, to all the many folk who have viewed our website, we hope you enjoyed our pages, learned a little bit about badgers, perhaps gained confidence in how to badger watch successfully.  Or maybe enjoyed the images of this strikingly beautiful creature.  If just one badger is saved because of our website, then all the long hours and hard work it took to build will have been worthwhile.

It's great to know that in 2025, so many young and enthusiastic people are now taking up the reins and looking out for badgers.  It wasn't the case 20 odd years ago.  So it's very reassuring to us badger "oldies", that young people are genuinely committed to protecting badgers and have the youthful energy and stamina to trundle miles and miles to check badger setts.

For us, well .......  The clock's ticking and bucket lists need to be ticked before it's too late.  Plans are afoot for an exciting yet daunting new chapter.  All over the world, wild animals are illegally poached, slaughtered and captured for sale in godforsaken markets, so we shall be departing on a long and exciting adventure travelling to far flung corners of the world, Tanzania, Uganda, Botswana and other amazing places, volunteering and helping out at wildlife rescues, remote schools and orphanages along the way.

So all that's left to say, is thank you for viewing our website, keep doing what you're doing, keep looking out for badgers.  They really do need your help. 

With very best wishes.  Ta-ra xx
