Digging a bumble bee nest

I was initially puzzled by a 10 inch deep hole with a mass of bumble bees at the bottom. There was newly dug earth around, and I realised that this was the overnight work of a badger digging out a communal bumble bee nest to eat the larvae.

Lots of path  clearance at the moment as the grass and hogweed is falling over in the regular thunderstorms that we are still having. However the Meadow Cranesbill seems to stay upright and there is a lovely display of blue flowers.
