It looks like it's about to self annoint perhaps, something hogs do quite a lot.The purpose of a hedgehog tail is subject to a certain amount of debate. It's more of a residual tail rather than a practical tail and doesn't seem to be of much benefit to the hedgehog. I've never thought of them...

thanks for your reply we like to give the birds that come into our garden a choice of food including meal worms the starlings are only going for the meal worms and can empty the feeder in 1 day which is unfair to other birds that like a feast

Yes, and then there was none, I think the sparrows have made a meal of them.

Have your camera ready !!!

Beautiful markings
