Tiggywinkle!

As well as being part of the 'Hedgehog Warden Team' at Hemblington Church, Linda and I are lucky enough to have at least one family of Hedgehogs that regularly visit the garden: we frequently see twos and threes wombling about while we're doing a bit of astronomy!

However we don't often see them during the daytime - it's not a good sign - so yesterday's juvenile 'hog eating birdfood was clearly in trouble. He seemed to have the symptoms of hypothermia: shaking, rolling, irregular gait and so on - so we phoned our local Hedgehog Rescue contact. She asked us to bring the little waif over immediately, which we did, threading our way through the dusk along country lanes covered with wind-blown debris. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome.
