I saw my first hedgehog of 2014 last week when we were on the beautiful windswept island of Great Cumbrae, a ten minute ferry ride from Largs on the west coast of Scotland. The hedgehog was rootling around in a grassy bank in the grounds of the Cathedral of the Isles in Millport, the smallest cathedral in Britain.
I shall be logging the sighting on the Hedgehog Street site as part of the hibernation survey. The aim of this survey is to see if there are links between climate change and the hedgehog's hibernation patterns.

Congrats on your sighting, Caroline! It is a cute critter.

I haven't seen a hedgehog for far too long! Apparently though, a couple were released into Colinton Dell, 'my' part of the Water of leith recently, so I do keep an eye out...
