No ‘hedge-cam’ but the feeding station is just outside my bungalow bedroom window and I often hear the visitors. This morning at 4.30am there was the most tremendous clattering and banging (dish banging against wooden feeding station walls!) then a hog emerged.
It trundled off in the light of the full moon over the snow filled garden -what a magical sight!
Not massive but it was a good, healthy weight and looked very sprightly. I think there is still one (possibly two) still coming through to feed. Lots of dry kitten biscuits going out at dusk; all eaten in the morning.
I also have a hedgehog house but don’t want to disturb in case there is a resident.
I enjoy the hedgehogs in the summer but never thought to see a hedgehog in the snow lit by the festive moon 🙂Hi Celeste
How lovely! So lucky you woke up at just the right time. Good old hedgehogs living up to their reputation of providing magical moments!
It was very, very wonderful! 🙂 But I do wonder how the strange weather patterns we are having affect the hedgehogs body clock?
It’s bad enough being human and not knowing from day to day whether it’s a t-shirt or thick sweater day! Sandals or wellingtons? How disorientating for a wild creature that hibernates.
It really brings home the truth of climate change when you see the results in the microcosm of your own garden and locality.
