Hi Hedgie Lover
I have sat on my patio watching my regular (a female I have called ‘Patches’) and I have no doubt she knows I’m there – I think we humans are probably quite smelly to them! When she comes close she gives a sideways glance and a sniff but just goes about her business. I sit very still and quiet which means she sometimes passes within a few inches of me. It is such a wonderful wildlife experience!
I have spotted 9 different hogs in the garden, but Patches seems to be the only one that seems to have got used to me observing on the patio, as she has been around the longest. Give it time and maybe Huffy will get used to your presence too?
Happy hog watching.
Sam
