And more badgers!

Today we were off again searching for badger setts and it was such a lovely day! We started out discussing the papers we'd read the previous day about the badger culls, what type of evidence they have, etc. It was actually really interesting to have a brief overview of the evidence they have at the moment and how varied it is. It was nice to critically look at papers again, something that'll come in handy in the future I think. Then we went off in search of more badger setts. This time we didn't already know where they were so it was basically us wandering around like trackers looking for signs. We were out pretty much the whole day and finally at the end we found some so that was really exciting. Regardless of it being a pretty random day it was so nice to get outside  and hike around for a while in the sun (while it lasts). So far our group is still pretty cool and we're all getting along really well.
