Prickly little visitor - a photo on Flickriver

            A young European Hedgehog, (Erinaceus europaeus) was exploring the back garden a few weeks ago during a spell of hot weather. We were worried that the youngster may have been separated from it's mother, but he/she seemed perfectly self-sufficient and proved adept at finding and munching through the numerous snails sheltering from the heat and dryness in the shadier borders around the garden, before discovering the 'motherlode' inhabiting (and decimating) a patch of thick hosta plants. We decided to pop a shallow plate of water down in case the little hedgehog was thirsty and it drank from this heartily a couple of times between snail munching sessions.
