M5 Badger Cub Rescue

 Bristol Wildlife Rescue (Sarah Mills) was contacted by Avon and Somerset Constabulary who asked if they could assist with a badger on the north side of the M5?

A sow badger had been killed outright by a car -the driver stopped to report it to police as the collision had taken his front bumper off. A cub that was with her ran off and a dog walker watched where it went and made a grass arrow pointing to its position (she had to leave as she had the dog).

The cub was found and after it decided to be uncooperative in getting into a cage (a good sign as it shows it has strength enough -it even puffed itself up). It has some fly strike like its mother but is now with a vet for fluids before it being decided where it goes to recover.
