This is my diary of the wildlife where I live in Oxfordshire, and sometimes the places I visit. I am a 16 year old young naturalist with a passion for British wildlife, especially Badgers and Hares. I have been blogging since May 2013 and you can read my old blog posts at www.appletonwildlifediary.blogspot.co.uk
Today is the perfect day to be celebrating all that is badgers.
Badgers are one of the reasons why I got in to blogging and photography in the first place and I have been watching my local badgers for over 10 years.
Here’s a collage of photos from over those years and a little of what badgers mean to me.
