Hedgehog rescue

Just got in off the late shift to the news that Jill had found a hedgehog on the road in Billington.
She brought it back here where there are no roads and we released it under the dry Leylandii trees with some dogfood to keep it going.

I'll need to get some live rat traps out, so that the brown rat doesnt eat all the food that we put out for the hedgehog. I'm starting to get fed-up of the feral pigeons, brown rats and grey squirrels taking over from the more desirable wildlife.
