I really didn’t think I would ever see one in my garden as it appears to be fully fenced. But a few nights ago, our dog just wouldn’t come in and was extra interested in the far corner. I jokingly said its probably a hedgehog not believing it could be. But I was actually right!

Because the dog sniffed around so much, I think it was quite scared. I probably didn’t help by shining a light on it and taking pictures but wanted to document it being there.

I now know there is a small hole at the back of the fence behind the compost bin, so am glad nature found its way in. Our garden has an awful lot of snails, slugs and worms so think it’s well catered for. Hopefully it will visit again some time.
