Far from disappearing forever to the land of milk and honey, after discovering the tunnel I chiselled under our side door for it (as I suggested might happen in my blog post yesterday) - our male hedgehog spent a grand total of about 4 minutes on the other side of the door last night. He seems unsure...

He first left at 0113hrs last night.

And then was back 2 minutes later….

Then again left at 0125hrs

And was back again just 2 minutes later – this would be the final time he used this tunnel last night - after leaving us a present in our side passage from his back passage at 13 seconds into this 45 second clip below...

NB. I think this may be the last hedgehog/door/tunnel video blog I post here... unless something definitive happens (he leaves for the night, or he leaves permanently (doesn't come back) etc).
