Got another visitor to the garden, but it appears they like the place so much - they've moved in !
Although the stairs at the washing green were meant for walking on, it seems a hedgehog has decided to take up residence underneath, even 'cutting' the grass outside the entrance, using the grass to build up the inside for a den or such.
More animals and birds visit my garden than people !

Ah hedgehogs now we're talking! Very amusing creatures, one of my favourites. I have a lingering memory of my first real sighting of a hedgehog. My friend's father found one pottering around the place and must not have been too fond of them because he scooped it up with a shovel and hurled it far and high into the air. I don't know if it survived  That was a nasty thing to do.
I hope you can get a photo C.J

That really was a horrible thing to do to the poor little hedgehog!!! I hate for someone to do something to a poor animal in my presence!! It makes me soooo upset for days!!! Wonder how he would have felt if he was hurled in the air?

We don't have them around here, but I have read that they like to eat slugs, in which case I wish we did! I have raccoons and possums, but I'd rather have a slug-eater.
