The hedgehog in the nest was out just on dusk again last night. Also the camera got knocked over right at the end! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/3K3u-eO-bPE

I'm pleased to say one of the hedgehog houses is definitely occupied. The hedgehog came out just before dusk last night and was in and out during the night. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/thanBCdjT-Q

Busy night last night with lots of visits to the feeders. It was very cold here and doesn't look like it's going to warm up til the end of the week. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/r8SloL03Nto

Some action from last night. There is one hedgehog that looks like it has lots of white on its spines. I'm assuming this is from self anointing and not someone marking it with paint? #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/KvVjoF-dKQI

Lots of attempted mating behaviour going on last night, and a bit of pushing and shoving! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/ZF4P5WnWwCo

Quite a lot going on last night including a bit of fighting. Lots of visits to the feeding stations. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/HKVR1XutGZM

There was a hedgehog out just before it got dark last night, I hope it's OK. Plenty of activity again last night. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/viZRfAXmgnQ

This Hedgehog Awareness Week (3rd – 9th May), let’s turn good intentions into real impact 💚 Our Hedgehog Pledge is all about simple actions: 🌻 Safer gardens 🦔 Better access for wildlife 🐞 More wild spaces Make a promise to help hedgehogs 🦔 👉 buff.ly/YG2YVNz 👈️ #HedgehogWeek

Quite difficult to watch at times, but this is the reality of how vicious they can be at times. Thankfully they both walked away unscathed. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/2uU8GBlfApA

Some action from last night. At one point I saw three together, some pushing and shoving and some circling but oterwise quietly getting on with their nightly wanderings. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/WSQWXzfskYk

Activity from last night and this morning. A few birds in the pond including what I think are a pair of Siskins.#mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/qfZh29h1fwo

If you would like to help hedgehogs, we are collecting dog/cat food and any unwanted raffle prizes to support Pickering Hedgehog Rescue. If you can help, please pop any donations in the box under Emma’s Little Stall at 126 Main Street, Ebberston. A big thank you from the local hogs! 🦔💚x

Some action from last night, one of the cameras got knocked over later in the night and on the last clip it looks like a hedhehog taking nest material into one of the boxes. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/yUd4Y-kJns0

There is definitely three different hedgehog visiting now, maybe four, it can be difficult to tell them apart, especially if they are about the same size! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/jVbM8HNj4yY

I rarely see any interaction between cats and hedgehogs but there was an encounter last night at the feeding station. Interestingly the cat, which is much bigger than the hedgehog did back off. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/dMR1WnFASpI

These two seemed to be following each other around last night! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/YFBuUv2_mVI

As usual the mouse was very busy last night as well as the hedgehogs. A bit of interaction with a cat but they mostly avoided each other. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/MBpCuSlbe10

Hedgehog videos from last night, plenty of interaction and some self anointing as well. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/NMEib1jhbPY

Plenty of action last night, a bit of pushing around and some self anointing at the end. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/ZjIxi-_bgKM

Another hedgehog last night, that's three now. One quite small which I would have thought was unusual for this time of year. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/YYdUQYPOQgs

Hedgehog videos from last night, Blackbirds and mouse cleaning up this morning. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/sxKrBZ6R5RY

Just a Blackbird enjoying a worm! #mywildlifegarden #blackbird #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/hOUbsb0TXlo

The hedgehog was out really late this morning, around 5.30am for a quick snack. There was quite a lot of mouse activity though. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/GqSeNUvu-7I

More hedgehog action from last night. On the last clip the hedgehog is collecting leaves but I didn't see where it took them, hopefully one of the nest boxes! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/sxZo9xhwIqM

I thought I'd solved the cat problem but it seems I haven't! This is only a temporary feeder until the bad weather clears up then I'll bring out the other feeder which is much more cat proof. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/_mhzeW4oOQ4

There was 111 videos of the hedgehogs last night! Rest assured I haven't uploaded them all. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/jEYD3QnB4j8

A few clips from last night. Someone was asking when to expect hedgehogs to come out of hibernation, here in North Yorkshire it can be as early as January but more usually February. I've been recording the first visits since 2016. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube youtu.be/Pi_y1ChdJRI

More hedgehog activity last night. One went in one of the hedgehog houses for an hour or so last night but I don't think it stayed in there this morning. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/hJd9-BDKK08

The first hedgehog of 2026 on camera last night. Exactly a week earlier than 2025. This one hibernated on 27th December (42 days ago) #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/MRiDQBA5j20

The Goldfinches have been missing for a few weeks but today they were back in force, I lost count at 30 as they were flying about so much. youtube.com/shorts/8tZl0...

A few birds at the feeder #ukwildlife youtube.com/shorts/gtVXY...

I'm still putting hedgehog food out just in case they wake up from hibernation, which is possible next week as it's going to be a lot milder. It doesn't go to waste as the blackbirds, robins and pigeons love it! youtu.be/uCprp1x0cdU

I thought all the hedgehogs had hibernated but one came out for a snack last night and stayed for about 10 minutes. I leave food out all year just in case! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/XAL9fi3BlHE

Saw a tiny hedgehog this morning when I reviewed the camera footage, (1min 59secs in) I put food out this afternoon and there it was, it's now on it's way to a rescue. It's cold and very wet here so it really needed help. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #ukwildlife youtu.be/Gzna1qLOldk

Dragonfly emerging Something I forgot to post during the summer, a dragonfly emerging from its casing. It had climbed out of the pond and under the eaves of the shed. Nature always amazes and awes me. youtube.com/shorts/aCnfO...

It looks like there is only one hedgehog left in the garden that hasn't hibernated yet. It spends its time between the front and back garden but doesn't stay out for long now. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/1DyfMp1rf1I

Hedgehogs in the feeders and a little one self anointing. These are from October, the little one ended up at the rescue as it came out during the day. It was released back to the garden last week. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/YPogyNGWpy8

Two hedgehogs getting along in the feeder! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/fy97rVS4fDc

Apart from the mouse right at the beginning I had another unexpected visitor last night. I very rarely get foxes in the garden despite living on the outskirts of a small town, in fact this is the first time I've seen one this year. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #ukwildlife youtu.be/u_MRr_DAI-A

Two tiny hedgehog I found out in the day in my garden got released back last night. It's so good to see them back and in good health. youtube.com/shorts/takRJ...

Still hedgehogs coming out and feeding here in North Yorkshire, apart from a cold spell recently it hasn't been that cold, mainly wet and windy. Anyone else still got hedgehogs visiting? #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/LvIAj1Myqo8

I've got a lot of catching up to do with the videos, at least I can make a start today now I'm back up and running. Here's some from 23rd September. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/9egUAn1iZEw

I've had major computer problems of late so it meant I couldn't put together and upload the videos. Here's one from September when the nights were mild and dry! Remember those days? #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening youtu.be/ikSch1W5zdE

I'd suspected for a while that there were two hedgehogs in the new nest, last night it was confirmed when I caught two on camera emerging one after the other. #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #wildlifegardening #hogsonfilm youtu.be/MeXqSp3lSvE
