Was staggering home last night with a few friends from an amazing night out when I spotted a small dark shape shuffling across the road up ahead. Clearly wasn't a cat/fox or anything but was easily too small to be the badger i have seen in the area. I walked up ahead, and when I was a little closer it was undoubtably a hedgehog! Informed my friends who crowded round it and it froze for about 3 minutes in the middle of the road. Bit of a debate whether to just leave it there or make sure it wasn't run over. In the midst if this debate, the hedgehog quietly got up and scurried off into the nearby garden - just left us standing in the middle of the road looking decidedly foolish! Won't be losing any sleep over this urban hedgehog - clearly very streetwise! Nice to have a happy ending. Quite surprised by the level of wildlife where I live - we have Tawny Owls, Foxes, Badgers, Hedgehogs and numerous species of bird - all in a city!
