Found this youngster on our drive. Now safely in our back garden eating some dog food.

You are right about that - comes around at about five pm for a feed these last few afternoons.
I might have to make a hedgehog house for the winter if this continues.

They are good for the garden as they eat snails and slugs.

I saw our hedgehog around midnight last Saturday night. It was about a year since I last saw one, on that occasion it was in the dark again but on that occasion it was eating the remnants out of the cats bowl.

He’s becoming a regular visitor, though switched to just before it’s getting dark at 7:45.

With your undoubted box making skills Rod I am sure you could knock up a nest box in no time. The country needs more hedgehogs. They would make great Xmas pressies too. the boxes not the hedgehogs :) The more the merrier.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Some years ago we used to have a hodgeheg that lived under the workshop (as it's got a suspended floor with lots of nice cool space underneath) Very sadly, one morning I found our little beastie floating upside down in the pond :( I guess he'd gone for a drink in the night and fallen in - Rob
