Hedgehog in the garden

Yes, we had a hedgehog in our garden on the weekend. A healthy one. Unlike the ill one that visited the garden in March and which I had to take to the vet, and well, was too sick to be saved.  :(  This was a healthy hog, having a good snuffle around the garden. It seemed to be checking out the privet hedge, maybe as a place to sleep for winter?

Not the best pics ever, but who cares, we had a hedgehog in the garden.

A little video. Not exactly a Cannes winner, but who cares, we had a hedgehog in our garden!

P.S. If you want some lovely jewellery and know the money you spend helps hedgehogs, head over the Little Silver Hedgehog. I've brought a couple of Emma Kate's necklaces and earrings, and they are beautiful. All proceeds go to her hedgehog hospital caring for sick and injured wild European hedgehogs.

Red Squirrel!

Red Squirrel!

Can you tell I'm excited?! Yes, we saw red squirrels today. Well, one red squirrel, lots of times. This was at the Kirroughtree Visitors Centre in the Galloway Forest Park, just up the road from our holiday cottage. What's more, it's a very short walk from the car park along flat surface making it easy for someone who limited mobility (as I have, thanks ME) or who is a wheelchair user. And you can sit down at the hide, as I did, and get pretty darned close to red squirrels without getting too tired (except from excitement).

Red Squirrels! I'm not sure I can really say anything sensible, as I'm so excited that I saw a RED SQUIRREL. So I'll let the video above and pictures below do the talking.

Well hello...

Here I'm doing a cute thing with my paws

Digging down to hide my nuts

You can't see me hiding my nuts, right?

I think I look rather fetching against the green

 Here I'm being PDC (pretty darned cute)

More PDC

Sniffing about for more nuts. I hope the birds haven't nicked them all.
