Early one morning, early in August, this hedgehog was collecting dead leaves and carrying them back into a pile of pruned twigs. It may have started before I noticed it, and carried on for at least half an hour while I was there, though it made a couple of pauses to retreat into the twig pile when a neighbour’s cat came round on the prowl.
Great shots – I’ve yet to see a hedgehog…but I’m hoping to spot on soon!
This was only the second I’ve ever seen, both very early in the morning. Sometimes there is an up side to insomnia.
