I've just found a sort of nest on the ground at the back of my border,
but
the nest is empty.

It's a hedgehog!! I just went out and had a dig about at the mound, and
there it was. I think I woke it up, because it snarled at me -- well, it
sort of snorted heavily at me, so I ran away in double quick time!

It had burrowed down in the soil, under the mound of leaves, which was why I
thought the nest was empty.
