I'm not seeing any signs of any badgers around here; the plum trees they normally forage under are looking like there hasn't been a badger there, I haven't seen any droppings or any marks of them.
Are badgers having a bad time of things right now?

I thought it was the opposite unless there are cattle in the area and the badgers controlled?

Not to my knowledge.

My experience is the exact opposite of Lozzie's. Last year you couldn't drive down a stretch of road without seeing a dead badger. This year I haven't seen many at all. Perhaps they have all gone on holiday to Dorset
