ONE-EYED BADGER BOAR MIGRATES

Two nights ago I was startled to feel something nudging at my ankles whilst I was at the top of the combe on the Night Patrol.  Looking down, I was surprised to see the old one-eyed badger boar who has hitherto been situated at the bottom of the combe.  He was also there to meet me early hours today, giving rise to the theory that perhaps something may have changed for him.

I surmise that he's moved because of a younger, more aggressive boar.  I cannot recall seeing a mature boar at the top of the combe - only the terrible badger sow twins and a couple of other younger badgers.
