Brief but nice article about hedgehogs in The Guardian yesterday:

I meant to post yesterday - I've seen 2 dead hedgehogs on the road this
week, where previously I've seen none (ie, between me and the station,
not
out in the countryside). Must be all the slugs bringing them out.



I saw one (alive) in a cemetery last weekend, but that's the only one
I've seen for several years.


I saw a dead flat one on the road I use frequently to go to the supermarket
2 days ago and today there is another flat one less than a metre away from
the first. I've never seen that before and it's not exactly a busy road.
For two hedgehogs to get killed during the night hours on a road that winds
through a small industrial estate that mainly only outlying villagers use
has to be sheer bad luck.
Or. Maybe. thinks
The industrial units get deliveries from big lorries that arrive from all
over the world and sometimes during the night.
I am not a detective but do I have a case?
