Garden Wildlife UK

I still don't have juvies. The only time I've ever had them is in November/December.

I think I've got 3 regulars.
We're off on hols shortly and a friend's daughter is staying in my house so she can feed the hogs

Caught two more and marked last night, the smaller one was a juvenile and weighed 386gr. Larger one was nearly twice as heavy. And lo and behold this morning, there was a large one holed up in doorfeeder so marked that one as well.

To top all that, Gardencam picked up three together last night. Not young ones.

This is an invasion !!

Hog central Well done Willpar

Looking at "gardencams" video`s this morning there are more babies. But varying sizes. One was very small and making its way to a feeder. I have marked two of this years babes that were different sizes. My conclusion is that there must be at least three litters this season, possibly four. Will settle for three until I get more proof. This is turning out to be one heck of a season. I really want to catch some more of them and give them a mark, but they are coming in late.

Are you reporting them all, Willpar ?

Hi Placi, hedgehog street has a different way of reporting them now. Have to go to a map. I have tried several times to put sightings on the map, but cannot even get my street to come up. So in light of all that I have not bothered. Don't know why they wanted to change from something that worked perfect to something that is hit and miss. Lots of people are having trouble with the map.

That's a terrible shame. Lots of very valuable data will be lost now.

STOP PRESS !!!



Another tiny, smaller than the other two. Weighed in at 264gr.

Caught a large one as well, no marks, so both weighed and marked. Bigger one was 898gr.
