Badger in the Garden?

The Floureon trail camera has been set up and running at the back end of the garden for ten days. 411 photos taken, many empty of any visible life, some of the four legged boss:

... quite a few of Wood Pigeons and occasionally Blackbirds:

Patiently reviewing all 400+ I spotted just 6 which had something different.
Far from clear but it looks to me as though a Badger has visited:

I never in my wildest dreams expected to see a badger in my garden
Time to start putting out some piles of peanuts at night to entice it closer to the camera?

    I don't think there is any doubt about that John.

    Weaver: I've now put up some video of it. No mistaking a Badger.

      Keith: Something I never expected to experience. You never know what will turn up next. Lots of small wooded areas around here so I guess there is a sett somewhere nearby. I originally set the cameras up, years ago, in the hoes of seeing a fox or two.

      RR: What with deer down the lane and now a badger in the garden wildlife around here is getting interesting.
