Our recent guests live in Bristol on the street where the badgers are often filmed in that garden that backs onto the dell. They are very happy for chappy to have his badgers but don't want them in their own garden so they have reinforced the fencing all round to stop them getting in. Expensive but effective. Not gardeners and can't be doing with clearing up the mess.

You can get night vision cameras which obviously do not require any additional lighting which would put the animals off. I have seen foxes before passing through the garden so would just really like to get them on camera. I wouldn't be looking to feed them especially just encourage them to pass through more often.
We have badgers passing through the garden every night and they do damage the lawn but rarely more than a few deep scratchings. However our gardener told us that another of her clients had her lawn virtually destroyed this week. It is about 1/4 of an acre and she said that the next morning it resembled a WW1 battlefield. May not have been badgers but we could not think of anything else to accuse.
