Re: Literal Odds and Ends
I just came across a hedgehog at the farm. Not a particularly spectacular animal but increasingly rare. The population is estimated to have fallen from 30 million in the 1950's to under a million today. It was a youngster born this year which implies there is a breeding pair nearby. Made my day as I've not seen one for at least a couple of years.

No I spoke to him in a soft voice, observed him for a few seconds then walked away and left him to it.

Stop lying to yourself.

I always thought they were just rats with punk rocker haircuts.

They are cute
Any theories on to why they are becoming endangered?
