Meridian Badger

The animal chewed through the wooden back door and got into the kitchen where she raided the cupboards for food and headed upstairs to the bedroom.

A badger whose sett was flooded and then frozen solid in the sub zero temperatures has been rescued from a car park in Oxford.

With less traffic and fewer people around, gardens have become a haven for nocturnal visitors. Hedgehogs and even badgers have been spotted.
