Don't panic, wasn't a deliberate attempt to bait a badger - was hoping that some muntjac would appear or that squirrels would find the bird seed and peanuts, so that they'd get used to being there (it's an easy shot from my high seat). Took 3 nights for the bait to disappear but here's the culprit - he was there for over an hour and polished off the lot - I've replenished the bait and replaced the SD card so will see if he's back again tonight
