Calling Egner (regarding hedgehogs)

........great stuff evgeny.......

.....lovely little things........

.....sadly haven't seen any round here for a while........used to be quite common........

.....guess having foxes and badgers roaming through doesn't help.......though even when they don't appear for months the hedgehogs still don't make an appearance.......

.....hopefully someone will do some research and find out why the little fellas are struggling so much.

....probably a combination of reasons......but more people means more housing and more fragmentation of habitats....and it is pretty obvious weed killers and chemical slug pellets don't help.

Both are trying to raise awareness re making your garden or neighbourhood more amenable to the little fellas.

...must be others as well.

Was on the news....holes through garden fences are needed for one.
