Couple of days ago I went to the wood pile in the barn and was confronted by
a Hedgehog, not unusual in itself as they often hibernate in there, but this
one did not freeze or roll up but kept advancing snorting as it came. Fair
enough I thought and retreated! Next day I made another trip to get what I
had gone for previously, and met the Hedgehog again, hell of a racket was
going on and I realised it was a mum feeding babies, out in the open, most
unusual to see them so young, normally we don't get to see them until mum
takes them on patrol, and I have never been sure where they nest.
I did not have the nerve to disturb them again with the camera and I think
they have now moved elsewhere as I have now retrieved the box I was after
and there is no more noise. :~)
