What Creature Is Digging Up My Garden ?

Howya Lads,

I went up to feed the dogs this morning and found a load of scratch marks around the grass, but funnily enough they were nearly all in circular shapes along with one big hole dug out.

I know it isnt dogs by the look of the scrap marks but am thinking perhaps a Badger.

Have any of you come across roundy scratch marks like this before ?

If its a Badger, and he keeps coming back, how do I get rid of it ?

Sorry if the photos are a bit big, any info very much appreciated

A few strands of an electric fence where you think he's coming in will stop him in his tracks.

Grizzly 45

Badger alright. As birdnuts says electric fence or a PIR security light and rigged to a noise maker like a electric horn will shift him.

If it is a badger you might want to have a look at the legislation regarding them
Theyre protected up the wazoo afaik
Its even illegal if you and 'old shep' were out for a walk in the field and he sniffed at the entrance to a sett
Best of luck

Did you find out what was digging in circles? , I have never seen anything like that before.
