The Badger: A Monograph

The work presents close field observations and natural-history description of the badger, detailing physical traits, sett architecture, nocturnal habits, feeding, and interactions with other animals. It interweaves atmospheric scene-setting of watching setts at dusk with practical guidance on observing and pursuing badgers, accounts of capture and control, and personal reflections on the ethics and pleasures of sport. Anecdote and instruction combine to give readers both behavioural insight and hands-on information about the species’ habits and seasonal activities.
