It has been just over a month since we reopened the yard to campervans and motorhomes. Bay 1 has been introduced as Badger's Holt, the play on the word "Holt" (halt) appealing to my sense of humour. For anyone who doesn't know, a Holt is an area inhabited by badgers.
During our first month, we hosted 10 wildlife watchers with a 100% success rate on spotting badgers. A lucky few were able to spot the pine martens, regular visitors but much more wary and they don't feed near the badgers.
Over the coming months we will be offering many more opportunities for folks to come and experience Frugaldom for themselves. Plans are afoot to improve access to the huts and visitors will soon be able to make the most of those for wildlife watching. Priority, as ever, will always be given to our Friends of Frugaldom support group members but for we will be offering day and night use of the huts to our visitors, meaning you don't need a campervan or motorhome to enjoy a night of wildlife watching. Just pack a picnic and hunker down for the night in the cabins. £50 fee will apply, which includes parking and use of our basic facilities. You might like to bring peanuts, monkey nuts, fresh eggs and perhaps even some pure, unsweetened peanut butter, all favourites of the pine martens and badgers.
