badger boundaries

If you are walking past the 5 oaks in the middle of the park, look across the path to the other side and you will see a couple of damaged trees. These are badger scratching posts. The tree at the front has much fresher damage. I took some photos.

You can clearly see the claw marks. There have been badger sets next to the fields above the park for many years and this may be a way of marking their boundary.
