Noooooooooo! Nic DwarfHog another squashed on on the road near my house last night ! There is an abandoned lane (full of hawthorns and ditches) that runs 2kms from the site of the 3 fatalities to this one just near my house and i have been seeing hedgehog droppings along it so i hope there are more as that quite alot i think for a small area. They appear to be searching in the roadside verges which are thick with dead nettles and full of snails and beetles and then then make the fatal error of trying to cross the road. This is the most i have seen in 20 years down this way, if they can make it another 200 metres then the 3 acres field behind my house is completely enclosed by housing with shallow water ditches, open garden access and thick scrub. It hasn’t been touched in 100 years and is an ideal refuge and i know at least one was there last year but nothing this year. I will mark it on the map
