I think someone forgot to tell the local ones they are supposed to be creatures of habit. Most of my photos have been flash as even when they come early the light is fading fast. The young ones have only been around a few days. When you get some it will be interesting to see how they cope with so much hog traffic.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-66222755282995864772009-07-20T13:26:00.080+01:002009-07-20T13:26:00.080+01:00Lovely pics, John.

I haven't seen any little ones yet either, but hopefully there's still time. I saw a few last year (before I started documenting visits on the Hog blog).Gavin Lloyd Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937598384359522498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-2706960962753197082009-07-20T08:59:49.920+01:002009-07-20T08:59:49.920+01:00Hi Tricia.

I was useful when the little one was next to the 3x3 inch timber round the paved area as it gave me a more accurate idea of its size.<br /><br />I will try some flash shots of the spiders one night just to see if it gives me some sharper pics.<br /><br />The baby hog arrived just after 9 p.m. last night and I managed to get some video of it with the camcorder.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-51085903545115973012009-07-20T08:51:12.416+01:002009-07-20T08:51:12.416+01:00Hi Glo.

I will put a link on my blog.<br /><br />'Hope' it will be. I wonder how many babies there are. TMS says 4 to 5 in a litter so I could be right in thinking I have seen different size youngsters about.<br /><br />Hope was back by itself just after 9 p.m. last night and I managed to get some video of it feeding which I will put up shortly.<br /><br />I hope you internet connection continues to behave properly.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-70998559180474141482009-07-20T08:02:29.731+01:002009-07-20T08:02:29.731+01:00I'm really enjoying your hedgies John as they&...I'm really enjoying your hedgies John as they're something I don't see in my garden - about one visit in one year!<br /><br />Thanks for stating the size of the little one - much easier to visualise now; it's really quite tiny!<br /><br />Great spider pics - don't know that flash would have worked so well?Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-46944256022275761752009-07-20T06:47:42.734+01:002009-07-20T06:47:42.734+01:00Good heavens!

News of your Nightly Nurturing of Nature must have made the Hedgie Headlines, perhaps with a promise of youtube fame!<br /><br />The little one is very sweet, and think it could be called "Hope" ~ because I hope it comes back soon! <br /><br />I saw an informative site: Studying the mammals in your garden – The Mammal Society, which I thought might be of interest. I haven't added the link, but the info above should aid the search if you wish. Little do they know that you have a setup where there is no need to wonder which mammals visit your garden!<br /><br />It's good to be back on line and thanks for dropping by my blog :)Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-72593019127318016772009-07-19T20:57:07.122+01:002009-07-19T20:57:07.122+01:00Thanks again Mick.

As they seemed to be hanging round for quite a while and light was poor for manual focussing I took blocks of three photos with slightly different focussing. The idea worked quite well a lot of the time.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-56093119283421874612009-07-19T17:23:53.655+01:002009-07-19T17:23:53.655+01:00Great shots of the 'hogs' again John, espe...Great shots of the 'hogs' again John, especially that last one at the water bowl.holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.com
