Hog Blog
This blog was originally set up to make a record of hedgehog activity in my garden in South Oxfordshire, plus any other wild animals that crossed my path. However, I've since moved to Pembrokeshire in Wales. Luckily I have found hedgehogs here too, and I'm always on the look-out for other wildlife.

Yep... they so are ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great blog. I found it after you replied to my comment on your YouTube video. We have a number (not sure how many!) of hedgehogs visiting the garden, and one in residence, in a wooden nestbox we built. I would love to take a few photos of the hedgies, but have always been a bit worried in case it would frighten them, but you don't seem to have any problems. We have IR video cameras watching them (including in the nest box) but the quality just isn't the same.
ReplyDeleteI too worried about taking photographs of the hedgehogs - well particularly whether the flash would bother them. However, they don't really seem that bothered by it, especially if they are hogs that visit night after night and are used to you.
ReplyDeleteSome hogs even seem to pose for me. You can almost hear them thinking , "C'mon, get the picture taken so I can continue going about my business."
Sometimes I will give a hog a handful of mealworms after taking its photograph. Any "trauma" from the flash is soon forgotten.
On several occasions I have sat quietly in the garden waiting for the hedgehogs to come for the food. They appear and happily eat their food just a few feet away from me not minding my presence so long as I don't make any sudden moves. They don't even seem to mind the camera flashes, just as long as I keep relatively still.
