We were out looking for Perseid showers last night, and although it was a bit cloudy and we failed to spot any, we had the unexpected pleasure of finding a young hedgehog rootling around in a flower bed.
I was only bemoaning the sad fact earlier this week that I had not seen a live hedgehog for over a year (when I saw one in the grounds of the Cathedral of the Isles on Great Cumbrae in Scotland).
And now I have seen one in 2015! Having just joined the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, I have logged the sighting on their site.

oh how lovely, I can't remember when I last saw a hedgehog unfortunately
Nice find Caroline.
I've seen a couple this year, and heard others rooting about in the dark.
Is this a good or bad thing? Don't they eat your flowers? Are the endangered?
Oh what a wonderful sight! I love them and have never seen one in person.
So nice to see, we have been out more at night due to me moth trapping, I like to see what's about. Which means I found out we have a Hedgehog visiting the garden round about twelve at night most nights, have made a box were I can leave food and water.Have a look here http://dragonfly-gems.blogspot.co.uk/ they have made a great feeding station..
