Dark bonanza

The badgers have clearly returned, digging holes across the lawn, a second attempt at uprooting the holly bush and destroying the daffodil shoots. Pleasantly enough the fox made a reappearance around 2am, with his 'whooping' call for some lady-friends, as he sauntered down the middle of the road before disappearing up the side of the house opposite.

Best of all though, the first sighting of a live hedgehog in Dorset in ten years. 6.15am in the pouring rain it sprinted across the road in front of the bike, hopped up the kerb and up someones drive. It's been far too long!
