With the nights drawing in, you may catch a glimpse of one of our resident hedgehogs before their winter hibernation.

Encouragingly, we’ve had hedgehog families living locally now for several years, after populations had dropped significantly.

Pete, our neighbour and worldly-countryman knows his stuff about our native wildlife, and says, “he’s the biggest hedgehog I’ve ever seen!”

So off we went to buy some specially-formulated Hedgehog food (they’re fussy) and found the perfect brand for our Bramble Cottage neighbours!
