Garden visitor

Yesterday evening I looked out of the kitchen window and saw, in bright sunshine, a hedgehog trotting across our garden and hovering up the fat ball droppings under both bird tables. (There was no other description for his gait but trotting!)

So I dashed off to get my camera and then went outside, but, of course, the hedgehog had disappeared.

I went back in put down my camera and went back outside to tidy up the patio when, lo and behold, the hedgehog appeared from under the bushes and trotted across the patio; seemingly not worried in the slightest that I was very close indeed.

I shot back in and grabbed my camera, but only managed to get these rear view shots before he vanished under the back hedge.
