Taplow
Driving down Berry Hill this morning we saw this very conspicuous badger at the side of the road. Greger recalled passing it on his walk yesterday, although then it was in Mill Lane. Perhaps it was dragged here by a fox, although it looks too fresh and clean for that; and it might be too heavy for a fox.
It looks almost alive in the picture, but the eye is glazed over; the eye appears dark, not pink, and there are grey smudges in the coat (particularly on the head) so it's probably not an albino. On the other hand the nose is pink. It's the third dead badger I've seen on Berry Hill, but I've never seen a live one here or anywhere else in Britain. I've only seen live badgers in Sweden.
