    Was out earlier and amongst some of the hundreds of holes was this one that stood out. Was about 3 times bigger than average rabbit hole.
    Fox or badger??

    If it was charlie you would probably know by the smell. Badger setts are a "D" shape.... (well D on its side)

    Your pic kinda has that shape.... and if you didnt smell charlie about then Id be inclined to think badger.

    Same here, a few years back was in a field with so many rabbits that there was a huge hole that we could stand in, several smaller holes off it . actually you could spot the rabbit holes on google maps satellite view they were so big and destructive.
    Farmer removed cattle from the field and couldn't do anything with the field. Was all overgrown last time i saw it.

    It looks like fox when the cubs are more active above ground you will start to see bits and pieces of what was eaten- fur, wool and feathers etc.

    Certainly looks like a badger alright but I can't see any bedding at the mouth
    See if there any latrines nearby that's a dead giveaway that it would be a badger
