Good to hear from Bill & Monica in Amersham that they have two Hedgehogs visiting their garden every night. Initially only one was visiting, feasting on Hedgehog food, which amazingly to my surprise can be purchased online. After several weeks it's been joined by another, the two scrapping in the darkness over the food. Hog houses have been positioned to entice them to bred, they need all the help they can get, as the species is in serious decline, mainly due to the over use of pesticides/pellets in the garden & solid garden boundaries preventing their freedom of movement. Also present in their garden are a family group of Bullfinches & a pair of Blackbirds still feeding young in the nest.
