Lonemum mentioned hedgehogs being out and about yesterday when I talking about seeing lots of squirrels prancing about in the trees. It got me thinking... I've hardly seen any hedgehogs this year and I really miss the one that used to visit the garden regularly.

I did get one chance to capture a little chap (or chapess perhaps?) as it strolled inquisitively around a meadow. Keeping very still with my camera in my hand it seemed to ignore me, although it never came within about 10 feet and could obviously smell me.
