Badger Watches at Rutland Water
Fancy getting up close and personal to our resident family of Badgers at Rutland Water?
We have four dates to choose from,
Tuesday 17th September – 6:30-8:30
Tuesday 1st October – 6-8
Tuesday 8th October – 6-8
Tuesday 15th October – 5:30 – 7:30
Join our Reserve Officers for an evening of badger watching from our Badger Hide at Egleton.
The hide is situated close to the badger set and here you can enjoy fantastic views as our resident family venture out on their evening forage.
The Badger Watch evenings start at around dusk and go on for approximately 2 hours. Not only do you have a chance to see badgers (not guaranteed!) but also other nocturnal creatures and previous highlights include Tawny Owl, Barn Owl, Bats, Foxes and Muntjac Deer.
Our Badger Watches are open to all ages. We leave it to the parent’s discretion as to whether or not a Watch is suitable for their child, bearing in mind we have to sit and be quiet for over two hours.
Torches are a good idea but not essential: please wear suitable clothing, it can get quite cold the in the evenings
All available dates can be booked online on our events page https://www.lrwt.org.uk/events
Be quick, they get booked up fast!
