Perhaps it's those bear feet slippers of yours putting the wind up them. :)

Just caught a whopper of a hedgehog in the garden. Took it in to weigh, came in at 1386gr. Gave it a mark and put it back out. There was anotherb but took the biggest first. The other had scarpered when I went back out.

I went out to see if I could see any of the Perseid meteor shower. I was wearing my flip flops and my toes went right into a hedgehog on the path :hedgehog: Of course it curled up a bit. Looked quite big.

Nice one Nuthatch.

Jacksparrow, I would say around 900gr to be a good average weight. Is not very often I come across a 1200 plus one.

Looking at what gardencam got last night, there is another baby hedgehog in the garden. Smaller than the first one I caught and marked. Was going into tunnel of feeder. Hopefully, now it knows there is food on tap, will come earlier so I can catch weigh and mark it.
