Badger Experience |
| Description | |
Pauline Kidner lives on a small dairy
farm in Somerset, surrounded by the wild animals which she has rescued and cared
for over the years. A family of badgers lives beside the milk parlour, there are
foxes in the tractor shed, the mink has a hut beside the front door, and there
is a barn owl who once spent the night in a central London police cell. In
particular, there is Bluebell the sow badger, who appears with Pauline on the
front cover of her book, and who is her favourite among the many animals and
birds she has looked after. Each chapter is devoted to a particular family of
animals, which are all described with humour and anecdote. The Kidners' farm is
also the Somerset Levels Visitor Centre, and attracted 50,000 visitors every
year. Pauline Kidner and her husband Derek have also founded the Bluebell Sett
at
Secret World, a
highly publicised fund for the preservation of wildlife. |
