Badger's Eye View



Blacka's barbed wire roughly from the viewpoint of a dog or a badger. (Badgers are known to have poor eyesight and go out at night so presumably would not be expected to put in a complaint if their vision was reduced by 50%.) SWT are responsible for the management of Blacka, which they choose to call a Nature Reserve. They have been asked how many badgers and other animals have been injured on the barbed wire. So far they have not provided that information and it is unclear whether they keep records. It could be that this is not a high priority for them as it's not one of those activities, like demolishing trees, which can be undertaken with a satisfyingly powerful chain saw.
