Did 100 miles in the chilterns and Southampton and saw 6 dead badgers

Did 250 miles around Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire and didnt see one?

Either our Northern badgers are much better at dodging cars, or we dont have any badgers, or we have less traffic?, or some bar steward kept moving the same badger along my route?

Any ideas?

Puzzled

Nature types often say lots of dead animals is a sign of lots of them. You see fewer dead hedgehogs now so they need help.

[url= http://www.bucks-badgers.org.uk/faq.htm#big ]See this faq page, toward the bottom.[/url] You'll find your answer there.

[i]from the site[/i]:

[b]Are badgers widespread in the UK?[/b]
Some areas of Britain are devoid of badgers. They are most heavily concentrated in the south east and south west of England, west and central Wales, and north east England.
