Hedgehogs

I have three infra-red cameras and all three are not working correctly so I decided to feed the animals and give them a night off from photography. I could not resist grabbing my camera when these two appeared and using flash it would not work through the window so I dashed outside and these are the pictures that I got.
 The  porch auto light came on which I thought they would make a dash for it, but no, I moved round to get a better position when they separated and carried on eating.
 They sat still so I started talking to them and to my surprise they just looked at me and carried on eating.
 This one was a bit shy but after a few minutes he settled down and totally ignored me, in fact I stepped over him several times with no response.

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.
