There was a bit of a queue for the feeder on the patio last night.... So we've at least two that come into the garden. These two were following each other around the patio for quite some time and didn't seem to mind the bit of rain we had. However, the house under the azaleas had no visitors. There was quite a bit of traffic through the doorway in the fence. Out. Back in again seven seconds later, perhaps it forgot something? Another visitor, not so welcome, but they are around in the garden every year. As usual, all the food was eaten.
A lot of activity for several hours last night, at least two of them, despite the temperature..Like..freezing!
Thanks for the interest. That actually is one of the old cameras. This is the new one. It can also take longer videos, 30secs instead of 20. Still cold, only +2c when this was taken.
At least two hedgehogs on the camera last night, but none were together. In and out of this feeder several times. The house under the azaleas was not visited. I turned the camera around that covers the doorway in the fence, to face the house in the corner of the garden behind the black bamboo. There was some activity, passing the house on the way to the feeder. But this was the last photo of one disappearing into the house, at five to six this morning, so it may still be in there. (You can just see its bum in the photo). Still very cold at this time in the morning. The resolution on this new camera is very high, I had to reduce this photo dramatically for the site to upload it.
This was the earliest photo taken last night at 7.34 pm. Whether it had just come out of the house, I can't say for sure. But it's likely What I wasn't happy about was the attention given to both houses at the bottom of the garden, by a neighbour's pesky cat. It actually stood on the roof of this house for a few seconds, before making its way towards the other one. It can't get at either the food or inside either of the houses, but the attention wouldn't be welcome. It may be just curious as it's all fairly new and as there's nothing for it, maybe it'll go elsewhere. There's no photo of the hedgehog actually going back into the house. But there is one with nothing on it at around half past four, so maybe it just missed it going in. Only one visited the feeder on the patio and not all the food was eaten. Maybe they are finding live food elsewhere.
