Sunday 30th September 2018












Warm and sunny day. Heavy overnight frost with temperature dropping to -4 in the early hours.
Crawled out of bed to enjoy a cold, frosty, misty dawn walk at Fobney Nature Reserve. Just love these atmospheric mornings. So little water on the reserve, desperate for rain now, we won't like it but we do have to face facts.
                A day working on project cameras. Three mouse houses now hidden in wood piles, installed with cameras and now connected to the hide monitor. Will be a while before we see results as the mammals habitat were also destroyed. All made good now, fingers crossed for results soonish.
Photographed a baby hedgehog leaving its straw bed tonight. I have some plastic storage boxes filled with straw about the garden, good to see this one in use.
Big surprise of the day was checking the trail camera and finding an image of three adult hedgehogs together outside the Hogtel.
