Return of the hedgehogs

After last years massacre of the hedgehogs by a neighbour with his rotorscythe killing a couple of them and driving the others away I have patiently been putting out food each night overlooked by my infra-red cameras. It has finally paid off and for the past couple of nights I've had visits from three individuals.
 So tonight I sat outside with my camera and waited. Only one turned up but quite enjoyed his meal and did not mind my company at all.
Had a bit of fun playing hide-and-seek with me. I've named this one Spike until I find out whether it is male or female.

    Nice to see them visiting you place Mike. Hopefully they will have a safe season and continue to thrive well.

      It sure is Marc. I am in the process of building a couple of boxes for them to move into.

About Me

My photo
Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
