Tonight, in the garden, three hedgehogs were on the prowl. Two were snuffling noisily under the deeper shrubs, out of sight of the camera. The third, a youngster ventured out into the semi open (I was at ground level).
Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.

23 Jul 2009Mark, we've let the hedges get very overgrown on one side. They seem to like it. Lots of protection for them.

It doesn't matter how much I look at hedgehog photos – they're still perfectly absurd creatures, and perfectly cute with it 😀

24 Jul 2009We have had them in the garden here, but not currently. I suspect over-zealous fencing (not put in place by us!) is a factor, but I didn't see many even when I was out on nightly drives to record foxes 🙁

24 Jul 2009Adele, it's odd that you don't see them in your garden. It's the noise that made me notice them. Either they're scrunching through the leaves or snorting/snuffling at each other.
