The South Parade Park is looking very brown and scorched at the moment, and not exactly looking like it is alive with juicy slugs and worms. In my own garden area I've heard a lot of snuffling and rustling in the undergrowth lately, but not actually seen anything prickly until last night.
This young character was scuttling alongthe drive.
I immediately got a bowl of water and left it out for him, hoping he'd find some solid food as well.

Si I guess that lack of water will be a real killer to wildlife in a lot of places so pleased to hear of your kindness to that hedgehog. I wonder if there is any food we can put out for them. I shall go and Google it now.
ReplyDeleteCat or dog meat based wet food. Sunflower seeds. Nuts. Definitely not milk.
ReplyDeleteLucky you. I've not seen one for a long time. I expect they've all been squashed by our millions of cars and trucks by now.
ReplyDeleteI hope the little guy is still safe
ReplyDeleteI've seen one here every day for 3 days now, I've put out water and catfood, the ground is so hard and dry there are no worms or slugs
ReplyDeleteHope he's okay
