The Professor suddenly noticed tonight that The Cat was all excited and running from window to window looking out into the garden. The light in the garden was on and The Professor quickly spotted what the excitement was about - there was a hedgehog in the garden!
I often heard and saw them when I was a child, but this is the first one I have seen in our garden here in England. It was rooting around on the lawn and exploring under the bushes before it very peacefully trotted away under the garden gate.
We have actually had a lot of animals visiting our little cul-de-sac here on the edge of town. One day I saw a little DEER running around and another time a very large HARE - it was HUGE! - came for a visit as well as a very cheeky Mr. FOX... Lots of excitement, in other words!
Too lovely! We've had recent adventures with local fauna ourselves ... including horned owl fledglings (that have now "fledged"), white tailed deers and even the dynamic between red-wing blackbirds and toads.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful time of the year, isn't it!
Best to you all,
