Happy Christmas

 Fast approaching 23.00 hrs and I've secured my Christmas Day photo! Feeding from a new bowl that was a present from my grand-kids - result!

This little square dish is marketed as a hedgehog feeding bowl - what next?

After dark garden visitors

 I'm keeping the food available for the hedgehogs which are still active around the garden. It was whilst I was setting up the feeding station, tonight, that another wild creature came to the freebies I chucked out on the lawn. A stunning fox came within camera range and allowed me to grab a few shots as it picked up the out-of-date chops, pork pies and sausage rolls. 

Still three different hedgehogs coming to the feeding station - if there is anything positive about Covid-19 then these garden wildlife encounters are right up there.

Wishing you a very merry Christmas, thanks for visiting and I hope to continue with this project into 2021 and beyond.

December - they're still active

 I never envisaged being able to say anything positive about the Covid-19 pandemic situation but, if not for the "lockdown", hedgehogs would still be well off the radar in a garden perspective. It is 100% down to the influence of Julie & Gary Pearse that I now find myself so embroiled in such a hedgehog fest! December sightings? Surely they're not normal? Think again - we're seeing hedgehogs at the feeding station every night! 

18th December 2020 - what's going on?

I've already posted about this crazy scenario, on my main blog but, will also mention it here. I'm now targeting a hedgehog photo on 25th December. Is it possible? It will depend upon how much San Miquel has been consumed during the preceding few hours. Knowing that I'm out pike fishing, on Boxing Day, should ensure I've half a chance? This is such a new avenue of exploration that I have no preconception of just what is possible. Hedgehogs - what a superb privilege to have these animals visiting our garden - whatever month of the year!
