I see dead badgers pretty much every day at the moment, sometimes more than one.
We nearly had a live one when out on the bikes once – badger ran across the road in front of my mate, skidded to a halt and then decided to turn around and run back infront of him again as he was slammed on the brakes. Odd thing was he got safely past and then turned round – so now I see why so many get run over.
Same ride but a bit earlier on I spooked a young deer riding past a hedge and it darted out and just missed me and then hit my mates front wheel.
