Blondie

Not an albino!
I first saw a ghostly white badger on the night vision camera 30th September 2018 but only finally saw Blondie in person during April 2020. Unlike night vision images it is not white and it does have pigment albeit golden in colour. Technically not albino but erythristic, as I enquired with the Badger Trust as to what the colour was.

When Blondie first arrived in late April it was quite small, had one ear missing and another hanging off and generally seemed a bit scruffy and battered about. Often April and Blondie arrived together and I soon found out it was one fussy badger. After reading about the best things to give a badger I tried some cat food and Blondie looked at me with horror and refused point blank to entertain such nonsense. I then tried grapes and discovered that all the visitors absolutely love grapes, they of course prefer the more expensive red ones. I should add the grapes were a treat as I did not want any of the badgers viewing me as a main food source.
