I'm not seeing any signs of any badgers around here; the plum trees they normally forage under are looking like there hasn't been a badger there, I haven't seen any droppings or any marks of them.

Are badgers having a bad time of things right now?

I thought it was the opposite unless there are cattle in the area and the badgers controlled?

Here in Dorset I seem to have seen many more badgers (and foxes) as road kill this year, when I have been out and about

Not to my knowledge.

My experience is the exact opposite of Lozzie's. Last year you couldn't drive down a stretch of road without seeing a dead badger. This year I haven't seen many at all. Perhaps they have all gone on holiday to Dorset

"Bad year for badgers" says Cab.

I was most relieved to find this thread wasn't in foraging
