We were surprised to spot this Hedgehog standing on his back legs drinking copiously from Jazz’s outdoor water bowl as we prepared some lunch today.
After three very cold days I am surprised to see a hedgehog out and about as they do tend to hibernate through the winter months.
Perhaps the weather has not been consistently cold enough to send him or her off to a cosy bed in the garden.
Or perhaps this was the last big drink of water needed before heading to a winter nest.
