    I was just out the back having a dirty filthy rolly, when I heard lots of rustling next door, getting closer. I thought its probably the tiny dog that lives a few doors away that is my prime suspect for pooing in my garden. So I kept still and silent. My plan was I'd wait til it came in, then give it the fright of its life so it never comes back again. The rustling got closer, and my supersensitive cat like hearing zoomed in to the exact position of the source of the sound. 1ft beyond my fence, inches beyond my fence, under my fence. By now, poised like a cat ready to pounce, the sound was accompanied by movement in the dark. Just clear the flower bed and I'll leap into action I thought. The sound and movement cleared the nasturtiums. And there, just a few paces away, was.... a hedgehog.:)

      I liked the hedgehog, not why you were able to spot him/her

        Took me a while to work out what a dirty filthy rolly was, not as much fun as I first anticipated!

          At least he didn't get the Hedgepig stuck on his fist like I did.
