We had a big population of them a few years ago. The first time I encountered them was visiting my parents. Who lived up in the smokey mountains in N.C. It was deafening but actually were calming to fall asleep for me.

Not really predators - maybe the odd fox or badger if they can get past the prickly spines but the actions of people are a far bigger threat.
I thought people who made donations were immune from ads.
I can't really see the point of advertising here on the forum - that's like preaching to the already converted.

Hedge Hog “Predators” - man, vehicles, lawn mowers, weed whackers, farm equipment, bon fires, general garden clean up, slug bait that poisons the hedgies. Poor little guys, tough life!
Exactly... ?♂️?♂️
These are wild European hedgehog. Definitely not pets and definitely not suitable to be kept as pets ?
This one looks like it weighs around the 900g mark. They can get up to around 1.2kg
Good evenooning. JoesDad and I did go out for our long walk today and it was lovely.
We walked up the river Medway to Penshurst and back by a slightly different route. Penshurst Place is a historic house and has a cafe that’s serving outdoors. They make the most amazing sausage rolls which are a very good addition to a packed lunch.
Translations:
Sausage Roll = Sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry and baked in the oven
Packed lunch, or Pack-Up as it’s known in Kent, is lunch that you take out with you from home. In our case a couple of rounds of sandwiches, a couple of apples and some Welsh Cakes.
Some scenery
Wood Anemones are pretty little flowers that grow in woodland and they have come into flower this week
Toads... while I was taking this photo a man looked and said “Wow! An adult with a baby on its back!” Erm.. not exactly! Mr Toad ... ahem... like big girls
And finally pictures of one of our prettiest woodland birds. We watched the Nuthatches nestbuilding in an old woodpecker hole whilst eating our lunch

You’re in the Platinum Tortoise Club. You paid money to be ad free
Thank you. Here I was complaining about not getting something that everyone else finds annoying. And from another post I found out what humpy means in the UK. I’ve said it before, this place is so educational!
The pet species kept in the USA are mostly from Africa. I am not sure they are any more suited to being a pet than our European hogs, there’s a very high mortality, but they’re smaller and cuter so people keep them.
We know how that ends with small cute torts
So's Ray but he's started getting them
And leggo land to boot ?. That's right up my family's alley ☺️
That's the thing it takes for our wonderful wild life. They know us as neighbors and friends. A little bird posed for me today.
