Too early, but more than likely wandering the countryside, identifying setts. Had an issue last year here, which was a bit pointless, sadly, as we out of the cull zone

Looks to be more hedgehogs about this year so hopefully the slight reduction in badgers has helped a few more survive. Early reports the curlews have done better too

They where snooping around a couple of locations near Cressage but are believed to be staying at the "holistic" caravan site on the A49 near Leebotwood.

It may be the same people, they are known to have been similarly wandering last year.

Found a nest of five young hedgehogs in straw stack last week when loading a lorry out , lad has seen hedgehogs in garden since, but on a sadder note 2 curlew carcases in a field of barley stubble which I presume had been hatched and fledged but unable to fly

Seems sad, that mankind has.become an ignorant selfish creature that's.totaly Alienated from his environment, and tends to interfere with things in the countryside that he can't or won't understand.

Less Badgers, better not tell the idiot Packem or he will be crying in his sleep.
