Two at a Time

It is hard to determine exactly how many different Hedgehogs visit the garden every night since they woke from their Winter hibernation. I have a feeling there are at least three but it is rare at the moment to see more than one at a time as they wander through the garden several times between dusk and dawn.  Just occasionally, like last night, two arrive at the same time. Here an adult and a juvenile arrive for their dried mealworms and crushed unsalted peanuts. The adult was there first and the youngster approached very cautiously, keeping low to the ground. This time the adult allowed the juvenile to join it at the feeder.

    1. They don't stay in one place for very long, that's where the movement detecting recorder come in to its own.
