I was sent this wonderful photograph as part of a campaign to encourage the creation of Hedgehog Highways, routes which enable these important garden mammals to safety negotiate roads and other hazards.
The photograph is of a starling murmuration, an evening coming together before communal roosting, but it does look like a hedgehog. It was taken by Jariath Flynn.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
