Two hungry badgers have been wreaking havoc in a Bilton back garden.
Gemma Jackson, who lives in the Harrogate suburb with her family, awoke one morning this summer to find large holes all over her lawn.
She bought a night-vision wildlife camera from eBay to try and find the culprit and was surprised to find two large badgers caught in the act searching for grubs.
She said:
Despite the mess they've caused, the family enjoys looking at the night vision camera the next day to see if they've had their visitors. The badgers usually come between 11pm and 3.30am.
The badgers are developing a reputation as Bilton's most famous animals, following the controversial exile of Peter the Peacock earlier this year.
