A Scots ecologist battling to keep a badger he rescued in the wild has found her a forever home – saving her from being put down.

Graeme Wilson discovered starving Harriet in a cow trough in April and nursed her back to health.

The 55-year-old said he was unable to release her into the wild or find a sanctuary to take her and was criticised by wildlife charities who said she must go into a rehabilitation centre or be euthanised.

But he says he has now found a licensed home where ‘she will be looked after’.

Mr Wilson said: ‘They have asked for her to be sent with a blanket that smells like me so she can slowly adapt.

'I’m going to be sad to see her go but I will treasure the time we had.’
