Come to think of it, I haven't seen one for a quite a long time, a definate
decline, usual road kills are badgers.

We haven't seen a hedgehog for three years now.
There don't seem to be any for a radius of about 10 miles.
Apparently they are susceptible to distemper - at least that is the
reason an elderly farmer friend of ours gives for their complete
disappearance about three years ago.

We had plenty last year but no sign of any this year :-( so far.
