This badger has an embarrassing moment as it falls off a tree branch in the middle of the night. The clumsy cub was caught out by a remote trigger camera in a private woodland in Shropshire.
Wildlife photographer Richard Bowler said, “I followed the progress of four rescued badgers as they returned to the wild using a camera trap.”
“The badger struggled to grip with its paws as it attempted to climb onto the trunk. That was its first and only attempt to climb the fallen tree branch.”
“There were no other badgers present prior to the cubs being released which is why this private location was chosen. This is also to protect them from culling and illegal persecution.”
“Before release, the cubs were tested for and vaccinated against bTB to ensure they pose no threat to the farming community.”

As I said when uploading the images I'd only give the location as private Shropshire woodland, to protect the badgers from the cull and illegal persicution.
There were no badgers present prior to releasing the cubs, that is why the location was chosen for the release site. I followed the badgers progress up until early this year.
Jammy dodgers are also a favourite for badgers, but it has to be remembered its not a healthy diet for the badgers, used sparingly it does no harm. Whenever I visited the location I also left some healthy food for them. Peanuts, corn on the cob, dog or cat biscuits, just enough to help them if they were struggling to find food naturally.

Wild night out: how a nocturnal walk in the woods can reconnect us with nature. More than 80% of us live under light-polluted skies but it’s not too late to embrace the darkness
I’m having my first “wild night out” in 18 months in Devon with the ecologist and author Chris Salisbury. We are here to enjoy the darkness by walking in woods, canoeing on the river and breaking into song (for Salisbury). Far away from the dulling effect of streetlights and strobe lighting, this is a very old-fashioned night out. For most of us, the transition from light to dark is a quiet one, but in the woods on the Dartington estate near Totnes, twilight brings with it a burst of energy. It is 8.30pm and this is rush hour. There is a cacophony of screeching, snuffles and scuffles, as songbirds return to nests for a night of rest, while nocturnal creatures such as badgers and foxes are taking their first tentative steps out, off to find food and mates under the cloak of darkness. Most walkers would consider this time to go home but we are just setting off (no torches allowed), and pass no one else on our four-hour walk through the wood and up the River Dart on a canoe. Tawny owls are the ambassadors of the night in this wood, marking its arrival with sporadic hoots from surrounding trees. Salisbury cups his hands and makes owl noises, trying to encourage them to engage, but they’re not falling for his tricks. As the evening draws on, I see my first hobby – one of the most acrobatic falcons – overhead, roe deer grazing in a meadow and Daubenton’s bats flying over the water. Darkness transforms the wood into something mystical – the branches of towering beech trees conspire above us and above them is an infinite collection of stars. In many ways you can see so much more at night.Outdoor educator Chris Salisbury looks through his binoculars. Dartington, Devon, UK. 6th May 2021.

Far away from the dulling effect of streetlights and strobe lighting, this is a very old-fashioned night out. For most of us, the transition from light to dark is a quiet one, but in the woods on the Dartington estate near Totnes, twilight brings with it a burst of energy. It is 8.30pm and this is rush hour. There is a cacophony of screeching, snuffles and scuffles, as songbirds return to nests for a night of rest, while nocturnal creatures such as badgers and foxes are taking their first tentative steps out, off to find food and mates under the cloak of darkness. Most walkers would consider this time to go home but we are just setting off (no torches allowed), and pass no one else on our four-hour walk through the wood and up the River Dart on a canoe. Tawny owls are the ambassadors of the night in this wood, marking its arrival with sporadic hoots from surrounding trees. Salisbury cups his hands and makes owl noises, trying to encourage them to engage, but they’re not falling for his tricks. As the evening draws on, I see my first hobby – one of the most acrobatic falcons – overhead, roe deer grazing in a meadow and Daubenton’s bats flying over the water. Darkness transforms the wood into something mystical – the branches of towering beech trees conspire above us and above them is an infinite collection of stars. In many ways you can see so much more at night.Outdoor educator Chris Salisbury. Dartington, Devon, UK. 6th May 2021.

Wild night out: how a nocturnal walk in the woods can reconnect us with nature. More than 80% of us live under light-polluted skies but it’s not too late to embrace the darkness

Most walkers would consider this time to go home but we are just setting off (no torches allowed), and pass no one else on our four-hour walk through the wood and up the River Dart on a canoe. Tawny owls are the ambassadors of the night in this wood, marking its arrival with sporadic hoots from surrounding trees. Salisbury cups his hands and makes owl noises, trying to encourage them to engage, but they’re not falling for his tricks. As the evening draws on, I see my first hobby – one of the most acrobatic falcons – overhead, roe deer grazing in a meadow and Daubenton’s bats flying over the water. Darkness transforms the wood into something mystical – the branches of towering beech trees conspire above us and above them is an infinite collection of stars. In many ways you can see so much more at night.The River Dart at night, as seen from the canoe belonging to outdoor educator Chris Salisbury. Dartington, Devon, UK. 6th May 2021.

Wild night out: how a nocturnal walk in the woods can reconnect us with nature. More than 80% of us live under light-polluted skies but it’s not too late to embrace the darkness
I’m having my first “wild night out” in 18 months in Devon with the ecologist and author Chris Salisbury. We are here to enjoy the darkness by walking in woods, canoeing on the river and breaking into song (for Salisbury). Far away from the dulling effect of streetlights and strobe lighting, this is a very old-fashioned night out.

Illuminate Bradford lights up the city centre - Bradford Council will again stage its hugely popular nocturnal mini-festival, Illuminate Bradford in it multi-award winning City Park on 30 November to 2 December. World-leading 3D projection specialists, the Colour Project, who stunned crowds with their dazzling digital animation in 2017, will return with a brand new creation beamed onto the façade of Bradford?s historic City Hall. The Imaginarium will take audiences on a magical journey under the sea, into space and through a mysterious fantasy land. The gigantic animated light show will end with a spectacular finale of light and sound. People will enjoy a wildly absurd live DJ show combining music, performance, dance, song, comparing, comedy and tragedy in DJ Ukebox. From satire to slapstick, this celebration of pop will have audiences dancing and laughing in equal measure. Nothing is off limits in this mad medley of modern music. The Colour Project will also stage eyeSay, a projection piece where collective words and phrases describing Bradford will be shone onto the side of Impressions Gallery. People will be able to try their hand at redesigning the Nat West building in vivid colours in an interactive artwork, eyeSee. Mobile cinemas on tricycles, LightBikes, will illuminate Bradford?s streets, buildings and pavements with colourful and interactive animations. During the festival, people can enjoy funfair rides, browse unique products at a craft market, and grab a delicious bite to eat at the food stalls. Illuminate Bradford - a magical nocturnal mini-festival runs from 30 Friday November to 2 Sunday December throughout City Park and Bradford City Centre. The activities run Friday 5pm to 8.45pm, Saturday 4pm to 8.45pm and Sunday 4pm to 8.15pm. Admission is free.

REPORTAGE - Mexiko: Leben mit dem Prader-Willi Syndrome
Jorge is prepped to undergo a polysomnographic examination at the Salvador Zubirán National Institute of Health Sciences and Nutrition in Mexico City, Mexico on May 31, 2017. Polysomnography (PSG), a type of sleep study, is a test used to diagnose sleep disorders. Sleep disturbance is common among patients with Prader-Willi syndrome, independent of age and weight. Jorge Antonio Moreno Gaytán, a 34-year-old Mexican man, lives with his parents in Puebla, Mexico. He was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome at age seven. He weighs 136 kilos (300 pounds) and stands 152 centimeters (4 feet 12 inches). Jorge is in the process of getting bariatric surgery. As a teenager, he would pawn his siblings’ belongings in order to have money to buy food. He was also known to leave restaurants without paying. “Our worst enemy is hunger, it’s what will kill us”, Jorge says. He is now part of a sports team for people with disabilities. He has been in a relationship for 11 years with, Maria Guadalupe Pilar Saucedo Granda, known as “Lupita’, also diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in chromosome 15. In newborns symptoms include weak muscle tone (hypotonia), poor appetite and slow development. In childhood the person experiences a sensation of constant hunger no matter how much he/she eats which often leads to obesity and Type 2 diabetes. There may also be mild to moderate intellectual impairment and behavioral problems. Physical characteristics include a narrow forehead, small hands and feet, short in stature, and light skin color. Prader-Willi syndrome has no known cure. However, with early diagnosis and treatment such as growth hormone therapy, the condition may improve. Strict food supervision is typically required. PWS affects an estimated 1 in 10,000 to 30,000 people worldwide. (Photo by Bénédicte Desrus/Sipa USA) *** Local Caption *** 21272652
