In reply to Mr John Collins’ letter in last Friday’s paper headed Help Hedgehogs, my photograph was indeed taken in the daylight (mid-afternoon), which I know is unusual.

However, I do not think this hedgehog was ill – he was simply having a snack before curling up and going to sleep under our birdbath.

I leave a dish of cat food and water out in the early evenings and I know he is still around as we find his droppings on our lawn.
