HodgeHegs!!!

Saturday - 24th June, 2006 - location - in me garden!!!!

Okay, now I know I said I wish I had my camera ... :-) I reckon it was a spy hedgehog, and followed me.

We have a walled garden so the only way in is up the garden path, where we are all lead from time to time aren't we?

Not just one ... enter Mr Hedgehog I think because he was doing all the grunting ...


Kinda cute eh? But he's not alone ... in fact he was the timid one - in the next picture you will see what I think was the female hog ... she ran off under the leylandii hedge while he pretended to hide in the brick wall - like children they seem to think if you cover your eyes and stay very still, you disappear!

Yes, I saw them out the kitchen window and quickly tiptoed out with camera in hand and children. We didn't get too close and couldn't think what food was safe to give like you say Stormfx ... somewhere in the back of my mind I'd heard that either milk or water was wrong and didn't want to chance things. I heard they were partial to cat food, but don't have a cat.

So, when I'd taken my paparazzi snaps, I retreated back and watched from a distance ... Mrs Hog came out the far end of the hedge, turned back round trundled all the way back along the hedge and out through the gap she'd originally gone in, back to the pretend hiding hog ... he then started to grunt again and they both went back under the hedge ...

Ahhhh ... thanks for the visit ...
