Hedgehogs are still about….

The rat (rats?) have been eating from the baited feeders in the shed, and taking it back to the nest, I assume…… As far as I can tell, there is only one rat - it has a ‘wonky’ tail - but it’s very difficult to tell…… I have no idea how long the poison takes to work but, judging by the amount that’s been eaten, I’d be surprised if there is any activity in a day or so…..

Three at the same time for the first time in ages last night. Nice to see that they have been able to find food easily elsewhere.

That’s not a Hedgehog!!

Just a reminder to check first before lighting any garden fires.

Yesterday I was shredding some shrub cuttings that had been in a pile for a fair bit longer than intended when I found a hedgehog asleep underneath (probably sleeping rather than hibernating given the weather).

I quickly covered it up again without disturbing it but a timely reminder to look before acting.
