Hedgehogs!

On Wednesday, 23rd October at 7pm – you are invited to Drimpton Village Hall to view a slideshow and talk all about hedgehogs!
Admission is FREE and refreshments will be available.
This is being brought to you by the Dorset Mammal Group.

Although reported to be in decline, Broadwindsor has regular sightings of hedgehogs and many welcome them into their gardens…

3 hedgehogs can be seen in the picture above – regular visitors to Fullers in Broadwindsor – and one merrily exploring & munching in the two 20 second videos below (no audio).  Thank you to Sheila Deane for the images.

 

As well as the talk on 23rd October, you can expand your knowledge of our native hedgehogs at:
