"You know what would stop this dish moving around? Weighing it down with more peanuts!"

"Sure, we can share the peanuts, I mean we can, but we won't"

"Have you ever thought about peanut ice cream? Because I'd definitely give it a try..."

Hestwave my big fluffy coat, don't talk to us about heatwave!

🎶 I got to get on the good foot 🎵

"No, I don't care who's going to the World Cup, I only care about going to the Peanut Dish"

No spying required, I know exactly what I'm going to deal with where and when, and it's not at 3pm on a saturday.

"Why the long face? Have you seen this weather?"

So I had a wash, well I was probably due a good rinse.

"You-ro-vision if you want to, I've got better priorities!"

"Do you think they can see me if I hide behind this pole?"

Now if only peanuts fell from the sky like that dried out blossom has.

"Extra time and penalties? And peanutties more like!"

"Thirteen minutes? I'd rather have thirteen peanuts!"

"Do you mind? I'm trying to eat my dinner here!"

Sharp claws and blurred face, sometimes we're more action shot than perfect portrait!

Springtime is it? Watch me spring onto these peanuts!

"Yeah, probably is about time my dish had a proper clean."

See, I knew the peanut supply hadn't dried up forever!

Gonna have to be some patient waiting like the picture on the left for a bit. Badgers can fend for themselves and we'll be back in due course.

Yeah, Stormy Dave, I know that guy. That's why my dish needs weighing down with a rock before he blows it away.

British summer time, sure, British summer weather not so much.

One small nut for a badger, one giant nut resource for badgerkind.

Great thing about this time of year, they start putting the dish out an hour earlier. But you gotta move faster, faster than the speed of nuts.

What do you mean, you don't think I eat fast? Try this!

What do you mean I should be watching the football? Er, come on you boys in green dishes, how about that?

They called it; nuts, wash, oh, nuts, wash, nuts, wash, city limits.

Can't you do something about this weather? It's supposed be spring now, isn't it?

Yeah, the cover dish keeps the squirrels out of my nuts and then it also works a stylish hat - doubly cool, right?

Yes, I did clean my white stripes properly, might as well if I'm going to be modelling on the regular again.

Moving in black and white, now static in colour too!

Ok then but I'm not standing around posing for you.

Anyway, we thought about it and sent a friend of ours on ahead to see if it was safe to go looking for peanuts again. It has been a while but given the terrible weather, every little helps.

Happy xmas to anyone who has enjoyed us - we're not out feeding at the moment because it is a bit nippy and we haven't decided if we're coming back at all. The worms are always juicier somewhere else you know!

One post a day, assuming there's badger dinner, assuming there's a badger dinner photo, assuming we keep coming to dinner.

“How much fireworks is enough? No fireworks would be enough, thanks!”

“Ok, yeah, so it’s been a few days, fine. Hard enough finding worms under all these leaves right now, never mind digging out my dish again too.”

“Ah, the season where I get to pretend I’m a model, with this pretty yellow, orange and brown leafy background…”

“Not just the leaves that are very mobile this time of year…”

“So as well as being almost a hat, it’s also a lid to keep my peanuts dry. Smart, right?”

“Lid or dish? I’ve confused myself now.”

“My most aerodynamic? Sure, I can do that!”

“Don’t make me fight you for the peanuts, there’ll only be one winner!”

Here we are, at the double.

"Just me for a close-up tonight, me brother's too slow to get on the dish!"

“Who doesn’t like a two for one offer? Bargain!”

“Can’t turn off this rain as well, can you?”

Try a different angle for once. See how many variants of black, white and grey you can spot in my coat.

“Threeee, twooo, ooone… go!”

“Well, well, well, about time someone turned up again…”
