Thistle

Thistle, a little badger cub, was found abandoned and close to death with his eyes still closed, by a farm worker. He called the North East Essex Badger Group who collected the cub and transferred him to a rescue centre in Essex for monitoring.

After a couple of weeks, he was moved to the RSPCA centre near Kings Lynn where he was integrated into a mixed age family group, consisting of other cubs and two adult badgers who were recovering from operations following road traffic accidents.

The new family has been released, courtesy of an obliging landowner, at a safe site, well away from any other badger territory.
