What a great idea to ‘Gang up to make where you live hedgehog friendly.’ With numbers in decline, making small changes to our garden boundaries can create wildlife corridors that will benefit the birds and wildlife that visit our gardens. Chatting to neighbours about this is a good place to start. It would be brilliant… Read More Hedgehog Street & visits
The photo of the hedgehog dropping above may not be pretty but it’s my contribution for Hedgehog Awareness Week which The British Hedgehog Preservation Society is currently running until May 7th. If you’d like to know if hedgehogs visit your garden and spot a dropping like the one above on a path, your lawn or… Read More Hedgehog Awareness Week
“This blog contains way too much chat, photos and video on garden plants, birds and wildlife. It also goes wandering on visits to gardens and nature reserves! There are cameras and links everywhere… are you brave enough to browse? I hope so :-D”Under the heading ‘A GARDENWATCH WARNING’ in my sidebar, at present, this is… Read More Visitors beware…
For sometime now I have wondered this. At this time of year with the garden full of lush foliage the reality is that hedgehogs are very well camouflaged.

To help power through a growing ironing… Read More Something ugly for the weekend
Maybe just a few minutes more? Beneath a warm duvet of dried leaves and hay, this hedgehog is making it look like a thought to go out into the night air. We’re heading towards the end of September and in the ten days since the video above was taken the nights have turned a little… Read More Who’s hogging the covers?
There’s been a whole load o’ shakin’ goin’ on in da house! Since the first visits seen via a camera in our hedgehog house it has rained heavily in the evenings. A larger hedgehog has been visiting but so far no more napping has been seen… Crushed peanuts and their skins have been sticking to… Read More Raindrops keep falling on the hogs
Finally, after much anticipation and finger crossing, we have seen the first images of a hedgehog exploring inside my daughter’s Hedgehog House (made for school exam project). I really didn’t believe my luck last night as I looked in at a perfect time… just as one arrived! The record button was quickly activated and I… Read More Sh… hedgehog napping
