The tripod weighs 16lbs/7kg but is flattened by the flick of a badger's head!
The pot under the tripod contains the birds' peanuts.

I had never seen a live badger until coming face-to-face with one by the house at 4am in October 2023.

Living in the depths of suburban Solihull (Shirley) I didn't expect ever to see one at home, let alone two (or more?) regularly visiting the back garden.
