Have you seen a hedgehog?

I had an adult and baby one last year. I followed the instructions on Spring Watch, the year before, and there they were!

Then one night coming home, I noticed the adult squashed in the road, and not seen one since.

My friend found one in her car boot recently!

Glad there's a post above reminding people to check bonfires before lighting.

Used to see loads when I was a kid but haven't seen an unflattened one for a long time

Saw an adult one one the front garden a while back - I was surprised by the size. Saw it dead by the side of the road a couple of days later

Our Springer Spaniel used to pick 'em up and bring 'em indoors!

I'd be sitting there, and all of a sudden hear a bump as the 'hog hit the deck.

I'd take it back outside, place it on a shovel, and gently roll it off over the garden fence into the adjoining field.

A few minutes later, I'd be sitting back indoors, and all of a sudden hear a bump as another 'hog hit the deck....

It wasn't always the same one - juvenile, adult - the Springer wasn't bothered.

How he never hurt himself, I don't know....but he was ever so pleased at his hunting skills!

I am making some hedgehog friendly entrances along my fence line and noticed these hedgehog signs so I have ordered a few.

We had one or two regularly in our garden, fed them, and photographed them....but sadly, think a local badger may have eaten them...

1 adult, 1 kid in my garden nearly every night. God knows where they go during the day.

I haven't seen a hedgehog in about 2 years, used to see them regularly as a kid.

Haha agreed, I remember as a kid Herries Road not having a single car on it for 15 or 20 minutes at a time, nowadays its 15 or 20 cars a second.

I was wondering what to do with the Blue box the council left me with due to the "Bin changing exercise" now I know - https://wildlifegardenproject.com/portfolio/how-to-help-hedgehogs-in-your-garden/ buying some cat food next.

If I see one trying to cross a country lane, I always stop the car find something to pick it up with and carry it across. But always take note of the direction it was heading dont put it back where it started and that goes for Tortoises. :hihi:
