Prickly Visitor

Had a very pleasant surprise to see a hedgehog had visited the back garden recently:



There was a time, some years ago, I would have two or three visiting every night throughout the Summer. I hope this one becomes a regular. To give it a bit of encouragement I have moved the old hedgehog house near to where it was seen so I could put some food inside, safe from cats, pigeons and Penny:



I also crushed some of the birds' peanuts to place in the hedgehog house.



Remember, don't use peanuts sold for human consumption as they may be salty which could kill a hedgehog.

This is the trail camera which has captured the video clips of fox and hedgehog night visitations:



The shelf above the camera is to give a bit of extra protection when we have heavy rainfall. The camera body is weather proof but a bit of extra protection against the elements never goes amiss.
