about

25.06.2013 at 03.20 Kuopio, Riistavesi. Badgers prefer an environment where there are silt-covered slopes covered with a carpet of blueberry plants and meadows shaded by leafy trees. Badgers will build a den (sometimes called a sett) on the side of a bank so that they can create a network of tunnels. The animal will leave its lair in search of food at dusk. It moves around in the shadows of the conifers rustling the leaves as it heads for a meadow. Once there, it carefully gathers the smells around it before digging into the forest floor to uncover worms and seeds. As the dew falls and mist shrouds the meadow, the badger checks for scents of danger before venturing into a clearing where it follows the path of a ditch. As the sun rises, the badger moves into the shadows and makes its way back to its lair. During the winter, the badger spends its time sleeping in a sett it has prepared in a cave. The recording equipment was placed in a grove of fir trees so that it could capture the sounds of a badger. On the track, you can hear the low grunts and scratching sound of a badger against background of a Goldcrest singing in the fir tree. Goldcrest, Dunnock ja Common chaffinch.
