Good shot. I hope you did what Paul said. Normally they are obe big flee house. But nice animals to look at and to make pictures of.

Lets see you chase one now John.
Surprisingly quick or at least they are in my garden.
Nice to a different slant on taking one.

I was only talking about hedgehogs last night-lovely cute image-not the easiest things to hold and shoot-very nice

Thanks all.
This one just kept half opening in my hand. I,ve got loads of them slurping milk out of a saucer etc but they don't look good.
Not seen one here in the forest for years. Once found one eatin g the eggs from under one of my sitting bantams. !
The fleas don't like humans by the way, - or they don't like me !
