Badger hairs in barbed wire

Comments

If you see an animal path passing underneath a barbed wire fence, it is always worth checking to see whether badgers are using it. If the bottom strand of barbed wire is at the right height, and if badgers are using the path, then you are sure to find some of the animals' distinctive black and white guard hairs.

Not all of the hairs on the badgers back have the characteristic black band towards the tip however, so if you find some hairs which are completely white, don't get excited, thinking that you have found a path used by an albino badger!
