Friday at the Flicks - The Amorous Hedgehog

A few evenings ago I was able to take some video of a pair of Hedgehogs as the amorous male was attempting to mate with a female. All she was interested in was eating and drinking.

The automatic monitoring system caught some of the action.



At the same time I happened to be watching from the kitchen window so I was able to video from that angle as well.



The male seems to have had no success that time and I have heard them snuffling together on several evenings since then. They are usually under one of the bushes in next door's garden.
