Hog In The Hedge

I haven’t seen a hedgehog for several years.

So, when I saw one today (in broad daylight), I ran for my camera – which luckily had the telephoto lens attached.I was able to grab a few shots without getting too close and scaring the poor dear. I didn’t want her (she was so pretty, I’m guessing she was a girl) rolling into a defensive ball.I needn’t have worried.  She seemed remarkably unconcerned by my presence.  Sadly, I was at ‘my’ other garden today and not the Priory.   A shame, as I would dearly love to have hedgehogs there.

Pointedly ignoring me she continued sniffing whatever it was she was sniffing

before ambling off, slowly, to where she belongs.  The hedge.
