Hour little “wildlife friendly” garden (which basically means very little maintenance, lots of mess, and boyfriend rescuing every single damage wildlife nest he can find) tonight surprised us with not one but two hedgehogs! We don’t know if they were courting or fighting, anyway seemed pretty busy. What can I say, after cats, frogs, small birds, various bees, squirrels, and yes, also mice, welcome to the family, little spiky balls!

Follow up on wildlife garden:
we spotted a robin nesting in the nest box of our neighbours, but I consider that also part of our family because all the fluffs for the nest came from our back garden.
These tiny critters just fill my day with joy!

@alx oh that’s so wonderful! I once had all these ideas to create a “hedgehog highway” in our street (we all have walled gardens) - in fact, it was the reason i created a street whatsapp group. The group ks going well but the hedge highway never happened- maybe i can try again. Very happy for you and the hedgehogs in your garden

@pvonhellermannn yes it's very nice. We had some hedgehogs before, but this is the first we had the impression for them to be regular residents. Yes, walled garden are not the best. I don't know maybe you can create some 'holes' in them?
