Entries tagged with “environment animals fox badgers” from Palmerston Residents Association

The residents association has been in contact with a number of people in the area who have had contact with more than your average garden visitor in recent times. There is at least one resident fox in the catchment area . I'm sure many people may need to check their calendars for April 1st when reading this, but there have also been reports of a resident badger population. The residents association feel that it is important to keep the exact location of these sightings a secret so we do not disturb the animals. I know that it was a surprise to me when I heard the reports but after a little more reading the sightings are perhaps not that unusual. This excellent report mentions the famous badger found sheltering in the warmth of the City hall's boiler house. The report also mentions a fox which became trapped in Castlecourt shopping centre and was captured on CCTV. So keep your eyes open, you may find more than you expect in the alleys and gardens of our area.
