Hi Nic,
Thanks for your advice. I think initially I’ll try putting it under a hedge which is close to the less used north side of the house, so it’s easier to check on (the ground leading to the spinney is getting quite soggy at the moment!). I think I have seen a hedgehog poo in the area once or twice. If I don’t see any evidence of visitors eventually I’ll move it to the spinney, and I’ll move it there in any case in time for the nesting season. I can shelter it under a big conifer in the spinney out of direct sun, and cover it with fallen leaves too. We have pet guinea pigs so I can ‘borrow’ some of their hay and leave it for the hogs to take.
I would be dead chuffed if I had tenants this year, but as I don’t know the hogs’ route into and around my garden, I don’t know if they will come close enough to spot them. Time will tell 🙂
