He's still here!  ;D And he is the cutest little guy ever! :D

I just spotted him trotting across the grass and ran inside right away to get some cat food. He was in the flowerbed when I got back to him and I popped a bit of food in front of his nose. He tucked himself up just a little bit but came out again pretty much immediately and ate half of what was a pretty good amount.

I then ran back in to get my iPad to take a picture of him, expecting him to have vanished but when I got back, there he was, all settled down for a snooze in the sun! Adorable!   :D

If the file size isn't too big, you can do it as an attachment to a comment.  But if you took it with your iPad, I'm guessing the file size is big.  You'll need to reduce it, either by resizing the image, or cropping it.

I've found a cheaty way to resize an image on my (now dead) Android phone is to open it in the gallery and take a screenshot of it.

Edited to add:  But iOS devices should have better image editing capabilities built in.  I'm sure you can resize it.

Thanks, I tried the screenshot idea but that didn't work either. I have Flickr on the iPad, I just haven't got around to using it yet!

Meanwhile I suppose I will just have to confuse the knitting community and upload it to my Ravelry account and bring it from there!  ;D

His little head is on the left and underneath. He is sunbathing after his snack!  :)

I am sure they won't mind!  Eeee!  So cute!  "Our" hedgehog is/was surprisingly big in comparison.  I had a poor photo of it on my phone, but my photos are all lost now, and it wasn't very good to begin with.  Maybe he'll come back out when I'm outside and I can get a better picture of it (with my real camera, I guess...?).

I saw a hedgehog in the garden today! Yay!  :D I was feeding the birds, he was hungry and not shy at all.

I was a little concerned at him being out and about at this time of year but I did a bit of reading and I think it's ok, considering how mild the weather has been. But now of course, I'm shopping for hedgehog houses!  ;D

 I was at a garden centre recently that had THREE varieties of hedgehog food.   :o

It's supposed to turn cold and wintery up here in a couple of days. I hope it doesn't get that far south or the poor little things will be freezing cold! :o

Awww, hedgies!
I used to get them when I lived in Linlithgow... my greyhound (RIP) was so puzzled by them!

When I was a kid we had a springer spaniel who used to bring the one we had at that time, into the house!  ;D
