I assumed that it was a badger (raiding my waste food bin)
but do badgers have tails like this ?

I didn't expect that answer, but it makes sense in hindsight ....

Last autumn we lost all of our pond fish in one night.
The pond was netted, a net with the odd hole in it,
and whatever got in had to be fairly weighty as it knocked over a tower
of bricks on which was a marginal pond plant.

Do you live near Salisbury? Lots of the delightful things there and the surrounding areas.

It's a Buckingham Fishing Badger. Very rare.

The tail looks very much like a Wallaby and there are several in the wild in Buckinghamshire.
