A few weeks ago at dusk I saw a large hedgehog come out from under a small tree in my back garden, and I realised it had made a home under a pile of leaves there. It was lovely to watch out for it in the evenings, and sometimes it would walk under the gate, cross the drive and go into my neighbours garden too. We were delighted.
Yesterday I found out the reason for it's large size - it had been pregnant!
Here is a pic of two of the three little ones, called hoglets, that I've seen.
A hedgehog nesting in the garden is a first for me - and a delight!
