Badgers will, as a rule, avoid confrontation. Once I went out into the back garden and disturbed one who disappeared at a rate of knots.
However, when cornered they'll stand their ground fiercely and are well worth avoiding in those circumstances.
They are now protected by law but badger baiting was once a legal savagery. It probably still goes on in out of the way places.
I've just brought the camera in and downloaded the photos.
It's a bit of a mixed bunch although there are several images of two badgers feeding on the peanuts I left out.
This is about the best of the whole lot although it is rather spoiled by the fact that I was shining a torch from indoors at the time.
