Hedgehogs

By Words | Published May 14, 2009

These two are regulars now. They seem quite unbothered by the foxes from what I can see on the trail cam, and are similarly unconcerned by my presence with the camera. They spend most of their time sniffing noisily in the undergrowth, looking for slugs and bugs. They more than justify their reputation as the gardener's friend.

Camera note: the first shot was taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens. The others were snapped with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

    Chistine, they're great little things. Much faster than you'd imagine (if they decide to move), and very popular!

    They're such fun to watch, though not keen on the camera.
