Being born and raised in urban Birmingham, my knowledge of the beasts of the fields was limited to having seen the obvious ones (cows, sheep, etc) and reading about the others in books.

Lovely Bryony took me out looking for foxes one night about 6 or 7 years ago and I saw my first badger. They're fucking huge! Well, that was my first reaction, as I'd always thought they'd be about cat size.

Wonderful looking creatures.
