Hike Up Your Fishnets, I Know You

I borrowed a tripod from work, so I popped down the garden tonight to take some night sky shots. It's a right fiddle, because you can't actually see anything on the screen, so you have to line a shot up, wait the 2 minutes for full exposure, and then see what you've got and adjust from there. Still, it was interesting and I will probably have another go.

While I was sitting there quietly waiting for a shot, I heard rustling and made cat-encouraging noises at it. Then I realised the head was far too triangular for a cat. My next thought was hedgehog, but it was bloody big for a hedgehog, and I would swear it had two white stripes on its head. It also moved bloody fast when I moved to point the camera at it. So at this point my best guess is a young badger, except a) do badgers move that fast? b) what the hell would a badger be doing in my garden? I am baffled.

Have tonight's picture:

( Possibly the Big Dipper )
