Hedgehog
I love autumn!!!! All those wonderful colors and this hedgehog. He lives in my back garden for over 2 years now. I finally did find some time to get some shots. I'm in love :D

iso 200 1/100 sec. F4 Nikon 200-400 a bit of flash was used to get that blink in his eyes.

Regards,

Edwin Kats

Hi Edwin nice to see something different, especially the subject matter as it's not cute & fluffy :smile:

Looks like the yellow hue is the in colour for now :biggrin:

Like it a lot :wavey:

Great use of colours and flash to enhance that eyelight leaving a good looking image :toast: :toast:

Very nice shot. Nice and colourful.
I have not seen them much this, other then beside the highways (most of the time flat :frown: ).

Thanks everyone :wavey:

@John: This is normally a drinking place where I shoot my birds. This is not the place where the hedgehog drinks. He's my garden pet :biggrin: I brought him to this pond and he actually did have a good drink. So yes, it's a setup. Here's a link to my hide wich I made early this year.

Hi Edwin
just looking at the link to your blog, your pool set-up is impressive, can i ask what the the two logs running along the side are for? i'm guessing to get the birds to only come to the back, if so does it work?

sorry for so many questions

cheers Jack
