This is a postscript to the postscript posted earlier…. Yes I still got a hedgehog, but she wasn't alone 😉

hedgehog and fox

Edit: I've now grabbed the trail cam footage to add. He sure doesn't like the flash 🙁

    Wohay! :up: Sounds like the title of a kid's book…"The fox, the egg and the hedgehog". 😉

    I'm getting to enjoy all this technology 😀 That was the only shot which had the fox in it. I'll have to check the trail cam in the morning to see how rapidly he shot away when the flash went.

    Yay!!! :hat: :cheers:

    I hope it will not frighten him not to come back again. But he will pay attention to camera for sure 😀

    He's got the most wonderful quizzical expression on his face! :p

    Congrats!

    Darko, well the trail cam footage shows that he doesn't like the flash, but he did come back later.

    Completely nonplussed I think at the new light-emitting hedgehog defence 😉

    Anna, the hedgehog was fine. The fox just ignores it.
