Hogs & Buntings

The national decline of the Hedgehog has been well documented and has been reflected locally. I hadn't seen a single specimen in the parish this year but tonight there were four in the Magic Garden including a youngster. One of them hitched its breeches up and scuttled away at an amazing pace but the others took the usual evasive action of pretending they weren't there.

Nice view of a pair of Reed Buntings down there as well and the first proof of breeding at this site.
