Look who was a naughty stop-out last night /this morning.
We spotted him/her leaving the food box & on the way home to bed. He/she tried to be unobtrusive in the corner behind the garden bench, but decided that wasn't working...
He/she headed off to bed & made it into the undergrowth with no mishaps. Sweet dreams little hog.
It’s the time of year when grunting, circling and huffing return to Devon. These mating rituals happen not, as you may think in Plymouth clubland but in gardens and green spaces at night….sound up 🔝 #hedgehogs.
OH heard a lot of grunting outside our kitchen window in the middle of the night. On looking to see, turns out it was two hedgehogs "very much in love" 😄💕
From 2 nights ago. Apologies for the badly positioned trailcam, I moved it when cutting the grass.
They are all happily eating cat kibble from the grass.
I'm thinking of writing a children's story -
The Slug, the Hedgehogs and the Fox 😉 #wildlife#hedgehogs#foxes
After a scare, here's our little hedgehog friend free and tucking into cat biscuits and a dish of water - make your garden a safer place for hedgehogs. Watch the video in the link to fully appreciate what a noisy eater the little soul is!
Good morning from Frank
Frank has an important message for all "please don't ignore my friends if you see any in daylight hours" #hedgehog #hedgehogs #wildlife
#Hedgehog using the ramp. There is a large step off the patio to the rhubarb, under the #rhubarb will be good hunting for the #Hedgehogs, there is the long way around but had these concrete edging slabs doing nothing so built a ramp for the hogs. #Wildlife#Nature
Quality of the image when the hog is in shot is not great but want to hear a #Hedgehog sniffing out its food? Volume up.
I understand Hedgehogs rely on their sense of smell more than their eyes to locate prey.
(large leaves at the back is my rhubarb, already ready this year, weather is nuts) #Hedgehogs#Wildlife#Nature
Hedgehogs have had some unexpected good news after years of decline in British gardens caused by habitat loss and fragmentation: their numbers may finally be on the way up again.

Almost finished my grown up Daughter's Christmas present.
This is a wooden hedgehog house.
I made an inner box from 12mm OSB then clad it using home milled Cherry wood (sides & roof) and thin T&G boards in Meranti made from my Daughter's old back door.
The Woodland Trust in UK has issued a reminder for people not to put their pumpkins in the woods as wildlife such as Hedgehogs can become ill if they eat them.
When you've finished with your pumpkin they recommend that you put it in your recycling bin or cut it up and bury it in the garden for invertebrates to enjoy. #pumpkin#woodland#halloween#wildlife#hedgehogs#UnitedKingdom
My Mum has just sent me this pic of her garden hedgehog family. It's not the best quality but the cuteness still shines through! #GardenCamera#Hedgehogs#Nature
