Hedgehog Watch Dublin

Hello and Welcome to Hedgehog Watch Dublin. This blog has been created to monitor hedgehog movement throughout Dublin.

At the moment we have 4 hedgehogs that visit our garden (that we know of) in Dublin's southside. I would like if we could build a sightings list of areas frequented by hedgehogs and also build a dossier on the times and whereabouts these sightings occur.

Many would not even know if they have hedgehogs in their gardens, so i would ask anyone who visits this blog to be vigilant and look out for the common indications of hedgehogs living in your garden

Some indications as follows :

1. Strange droppings start appearing on your patio or lawn
2. Your auto light in the garden comes on regularly
3. Flattened grass at the egde of your lawn
4. Your cat or dog (if you have one) acting in a strange manner
5. lack of slugs and snails on your flower beds and lawn

These are just some of the indicators please feel free to contact me if you have any other suggestions.

Below is video from earlier tonight when two young hedgehogs were feeding. Listen to the sound of them crunching the food. Its great to see and hear them and also see that they are healthy.
