A nocturnal visitor. The garden of the house I grew up in has always had hedgehogs although it's a town garden. I have suspected for a while that they have been helping themselves to the cat food my father leaves out on the patio. Managed to get a snap by torchlight of this one having a midnight snack.

 Hedgehogs are rarely seen in the daytime but I remember an occasion in this garden years ago. I was wearing open toed sandals which I kicked off to go barefoot. A baby hedgehog appeared and started snuffling around. Eventually it shimmied snugly into one of the sandals and stayed there for quite some time.
