Have we had baby hedgehogs yet?
Coming back to base on Friday, we found a small hedgehog pottering about on the tarmac at the reserve entrance, watched with fascination by three lads who'd just come out of the Mosque. I steered the truck away from it, and suggested to my workmate that she get out and see if it looked alright, knowing that a hedgehog out in daylight is not usually a good sign.
She did this, but pointed out that as she'd never seen one alive before, she wasn't sure what to look for!
When she closed the truck door, it jumped, so we reckoned its reflexes were ok, and she scooped it up and placed it in some more friendly undergrowth out of harm's way. The lads remained fascinated, so I guess they'd never seen one either!
