Only one regular hedgehog visitor atm. My smallest one and they clearly know the drill, they are busy putting on weight in preparation for hibernation visiting the feeder back and forth from dusk till dawn. I won’t interfere yet but may weigh them later in the month.

The new feeding station has definitely foiled the cats too.

But there was another visitor! The polecat has been to check it out.

They don’t seem interested in the food, went in then turned straight around. But they then spotted the trail cam and didn’t come out for about 5 minutes. Not hiding but just staring at the camera. In the end they went through the feeding station and out the other side.

Look at that little face! Wouldn’t want to mess though.

Until you kindly shared your footage, I never imagined so many different creatures would visit a hedgehog station!

@HederaVulpes the voles are regular visitors too!
@helenclayton @HederaVulpes I wouldn't have thought so either! Thanks for sharing these.
@CiaraNi @HederaVulpes conversely, a camera set up on my neighbour’s farm in all different locations where one might expect to see wildlife…not a sausage!
@helenclayton @HederaVulpes Clearly the first visitors to the hedgehog station gave it good reviews on TripAdvisor and word has spread
