I know I’m being silly, but I feel quite sad that the hedgehogs haven’t been back to their feeding station since early to mid April, almost two months now. I only started to feed and film hedgehogs last year so am fairly new to learning their habits etc. I think the fact that all of last years squirrels have disappeared is adding to my anxiety. We had 3 or 4 squirrels daily until around Nov 24 but none have come back. There are no building sites in our immediate area but I know some councils use birth control methods or culling.
Last year was so wonderful for seeing wildlife in our garden and its just depressing that this year its all disappeared. I haven’t made any changes to the feeding stations or changed food. I suppose this is the side of wildlife watching that I’ll have to learn to accept. Sorry for the long post, I just feel sad and also anxious about what may have gone wrong for them.
