A unexpected new hedgehog shot

A few days ago i was looking through an old note book of mine full with filming ideas and one that stood out was filming a Fox feeding from a dustbin on its side. My plan was to have the camera inside the bin filming the entrance and after buying a cheap garden bin and using a bird box camera with a wide lens to get a better shot of the bin and the Fox feeding on the edge of the bin or maybe entering the bin pulling out the food.

So last night I baited the bin with some small pieces of ham and at 10.30pm a Hedgehog turned up and went right inside the bin to feed and sniffed the camera then left. It was a very cold and frosty night so why was the Hedgehog wandering around in November It must be because of the mild weather making the Hedgehog confused and unable to hibernate. I will see if it returns tonight and if it does I will try to weigh it to make sure every things fine if not then I will give it some TLC and put it in a secure area with a hedgehog box, straw, leaves and food and water so it can get to the wright weight and hibernate or at least be in a safe warm area behind my garden office.

Footage will be uploaded by the end of the week.

Thanks for reading
