Meet Bob the Badger!

Hello! I’m Bob the Badger – the newest member of the TPT gang! I’m a keen photographer with a nose for adventure. I love exploring the Trans Pennine Trail, snapping photos of wildlife, and sharing my favourite Trail moments. Whether I’m searching for animal tracks or inviting you to join a photography challenge, every day is a chance to discover something new with friends.

Quick Q&A with Bob the Badger
Who are you?
I’m Bob, a badger who loves adventures and taking photos!

Where’s your home?
I live in a cosy sett near the Trail, but you might spot me wandering through woodlands, meadows, or even near riversides at dusk.

What do you look like?
I have black and white stripes on my face, a chunky body, and strong paws for digging. My camera is always ready for the next great shot!

What do you eat?
I enjoy worms, insects, fruit, and sometimes a crunchy snack like nuts or berries.

What’s interesting about badgers?
Badgers are brilliant diggers and love to explore at night. We’re also great at working together with our families and have a strong sense of smell.
