European Badger - Meles meles

Travelling over moorland in Dumfries & Galloway this afternoon I spotted this badger foraging for food - unusual to see them out in daylight at this time of the year

It is an Erysthristic (sometimes also called Rofous) badger where due to genetic anomalies there is a lack or reduction in the melanin or dark pigmentation.

Not rare but uncommon.
