Not entirely direct as the hind is laid a bit behind the fore but enough to lay over part of it.More great tracks and pics Paul, and great photos from ocean and Al21

It's all dependant on how quick the animal is moving I should add.

Thanks Paul.
Am I correct in thinking the faster the animal is moving, the more of a direct reg, but the further apart the actual prints left?
Went to a local woods the other day, and found a few burrows, which I think are rabbit, as they don't seem big enough for badgers setts. What do you make of them Paul?
But I think this is badger damage
As I found this nearby
Did you find any fur at the entrance to the burrows? Being in the woods like that, and going by the types and size of trails, I would be more inclined to think it was badger.
I didn't really look for fur, I must admit. The thing that made me think rabbit was the droppings near the entrance, and the size of the "hole", which was only around 6 inches across. I shall return at some point, and investigate fur-ther lol
The holes are rabbit without a doubt, you'd expect to see a much larger 'D' shaped hole if it was badger plus you have said they were 6" across.
I would expect to see a larger spoil heap and also old bedding outside the entrance.
I'm also pretty sure that's not badger damage on the log - just looks like it's been snapped off - and I can't make out the impression in the soil in the last picture.
