Little and large. My first thought was “You big bully” but I think this big hedgehog might just have been going for a drink in the pond. 🦔
They said training for an ultramarathon wasn’t easy. No kidding. My bad.
This hedgehog was adorned with leaves as it headed for the biscuit trough. 🦔
Excellent news. Best bet is kitten biscuits. Sainsbury’s own brand is perfect. The biscuits are small and high in protein
How many hedgehogs can you get in one feeding station? No wonder all the bowls are empty in the morning 🦔
The “keep banging out the miles” phase. I did not maintain my easy pace in the second half and have been told off for it. Quite rightly.
A dawn hedgehog encounter. A twofer. Common sense prevailed. Both decided it was time for bed. 🦔
Regret to inform overnight hedgehog bowling shenanigans. Not sure if one hedgie ended up in the pond or not? 🦔
That’s our Ripley slinking back in after midnight (I was waiting up for her) and she’s followed by another hedgehog coming through Hedgehog Highway 1. Busy out there. 🦔
Great to hear Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance talk about the relevance of research organisations to UK plc at the launch of the National Research Organisations @nro-group.bsky.social tonight. quadram.ac.uk/uks-world-cl...
Back from Wales and I see new shoes arrived while I was away. High mileage and all that. 🏃♂️
Not someone I know but he was in my grandfather’s regiment. Died on this day in 1944. Buried at Ranville. Rest in peace Gunner William McLean, aged 19, of North Shields, Northumberland.
Pond life, episode 2. The Thirsty Hedgehog. Sound on. 🦔 There are several other hedgehogs around huffing.
Hoglet excitement!!! Baby hedgehog out and about, and off to the pond. 🦔
Shenanigans in Craigievar. Sound on for huffing. And can I just say how much I love that hedgehog’s earring. So stylish. 🦔
A cunning plan, indeed. Just lie down in the trough and the biscuits are all yours. 🦔 PS This is why we have two feeding stations.
When you have to drop the car off at the garage on the other side of the city but you also need to get some miles in 🏃♂️
Our one-eyed hedgehog rescue release, Ali, was the last to leave this morning. She looks a healthy size and really pleased to see her around. 🦔
Find a little peace in the world by watching the first hedgehog visitor of the evening enjoying some water 🦔 #hedgehogs
The Youngest didn’t come to Scotland last week because he had his driving test. He passed first time 🙌 Also means I just got my Father’s Day card from him and if you’re from Norwich you might just recognise the scene.
