Good evening hettiehog,
I’m a ‘newbie’ here on the forum, but me and ‘wor lass’ have been hedgehog lovers for many years.
We have made the obvious mistakes in earlier years, and some more recent ones in later years,.
But the question is how do you record individual hogs? we recently counted 16 hogs in one night, but obviously some were ‘returnees’ though we find most are ‘once in a night‘ visitors’
Obviously we don’t want to discourage there visits, but it would be helpfull to ascertain the actual population of our particular area?
We have obviously found that motion sensors lights discourage some, but not all,.
There are some ‘ extremely cocky’ hedges who aren’t bothered by lights, cats dogs and on a few occasions, foxes.
Any advice on viewing, and recording visits would be appreciated.
Ta, Coley
