It may be September and the leaves are starting to change to autumn colours but that was not the only thing captured on the forest cameras at Center Parcs in nearby Woburn recently.
A badger has been recorded coming out into the daylight, the first to be caught on camera doing so.
September is a time the Center Parcs ranger team carry out some surveying to establish which setts the badgers are using as they will be making the use of the abundance of food available and fattening up ready for winter.
