I try not to mix up my posts on the plants, bird and wildlife in my garden too much but there is so much going on at the moment. Everyone is the same at this time of year I am quite sure. It is a busy time in the garden. My Nestbox videos of yesterday… Read More Garden updates
I haven’t had my night camera in use for a few nights. However I had guessed by the food distribution at my hedgehog feeding station that we have had less hedgehog visits recently. I am also guessing that the landscaping work that my neighbour is still having done perhaps has altered the route they have… Read More Hungry young hedgehog
There is definitely a lot to watch out for in the garden at the moment between the plants, birds and wildlife. What a great time of year this is! Our blue tit female is still busy with her nest and I will post her progress in a couple of days as at the moment it… Read More Hedgehogs first for camera
It’s April the first and am I having a joke here? Nope… what you are about to see is entirely true and you have my assurance that no animals were harmed during the making of this film! Okay what is this about? Well…. a few months back we had a certain visitor to our garden. A… Read More The Director’s Cut
Last night was a very cold night in my garden and worryingly it had to be the first night we saw a juvenile hedgehog! It was spotted heading for the sultanas I leave out for any visiting hedgehogs but was startled and ran at speed into the garden. That would have been okay if it… Read More Hedgehog Juvenile visit
It has been a little while since I have mentioned hedgehog visits in my garden. I have continued to put food and water out but it hasn’t always been taken. The nights are getting colder and I am very aware that our hedgehog may be preparing to hibernate for the winter. We had planned to… Read More Hedgehog House for Rent
It is almost a month since we have had hedgehogs visiting our garden taking food from a dish I put out. I have read that the hedgehog was a noisy eater so last night I put out the video camera again to try and catch this on film. You will perhaps need to turn up… Read More Hedgehogs – noisy eaters?
Tonight I finally managed to get some photos of our visiting hedgehog. However, now I am wondering if we perhaps have two hedgehogs visiting as on one visit it looked slightly smaller! The photos above were taken, in two separate visits, in my garden between 10-11pm on September 3rd 2007.
For over two weeks now we have seen a hedgehog visit my garden. Last night I tried to photograph our visitor with my camera on a tripod all set to just quietly open the door and snap. I positioned the feeding bowl just outside my feeding box with peanuts (plus a few sultanas) on one… Read More Hedgehogs eat peanuts
For seven nights we have followed the visits of a hedgehog to our garden. For five of these nights we had a feeding station set up experimenting with foods to tempt it in. After a few days it looked like a hedgehog might actually be exploring our upturned box, with a 13cm entrance hole cut… Read More Hedgehog feeding station success!
