Having commented on two hedgehogs having come out of hibernation last week, with the hedgehog feeding station lacking a roof, I had not seen them again, although the weather has been pretty bad.
Then last night, actually this morning at five to six, one of my prickly little friends turned up.
Just as well I had put a roof on and filled the food and water dishes.
After a bit more wandering around our little hedgehog eventually sniffed out the entrance, or at least sniffed out the smell of food and found out where it was coming from.
Having entered the new feeding station it was more than five minutes before the early morning visitor reappeared, clearly having had a hearty breakfast, and wandered off into the sunrise.
There was another visitor last night, who I had not seen during the extremely bad weather we have had during the past few nights.
You might have to wait for a few seconds but keep your eyes open because it’s the glint in the eyes that will help you spot our little friend.
