    On last night's footage, a cheeky magpie eating the food just before 7 am!

      Gem - that's a bit frustrating, but magpies are such opportunists.

      But it's wonderful to be able to see what Hermoine and her friend are doing.

        It's not such a problem about the magpie, as they are there in the daytime, by which time the hedgehogs have had their fill and gone to bed!

        The slugs which migrate to the hedgehog food (and provide extra food for the hedgehogs!) I find quite revolting. OH plans to round them up and liberate them in a field somewhere. Wet weather brings them out in our droves.

              I'd just feed them to the hedgehogs - all that lovely protein to build them up for the winter.

                I don't think they can eat that many! OH took a tub full to a field at the other side of the village yesterday

                    Have they come back, yet, Gem?

                      They may have well , as the food and water bowl and covered in them at night!! Our hedgehog eats around them as though they are just an annoyance.

                        Hahaha. You can't beat a slug's love of its own garden.

                          A few days ago we had another two hedgehog sighting. Usually they either skirt around each other, or may make little disgruntled snuffling noises if both are at the feeding spot.

                          On this particular film the hedgehog-who-isn't Hermione was spotted eating, drinking and wandering about several times. A couple of hours later along comes Hermione. She went up to the other, smaller hedgehog at the food bowl and gave it a big shove!! It curled up into ball and laid low. Hermione stormed off in a huff!! Next film showed the other one walking away!

                            Apparently slug slime is good for burns.

                                How interesting it must be to watch the wildlife in your garden at night. Slugs make me feel a little sick.....not as much as Ron (Won Won) in Harry Potter tho.🤢
