A very dramatic two days. Peter French came with a digger to remove a heap of garden rubbish from our wildlife garden at Ewerby. There at the bottom of the pile were these three tiny babies.......but - NO MUM! So we moved them to a safe place, Zaira made a new home for them and we hoped Mum may return overnight. But no! And we could only find two of them..So........ we rang Angela Smith from Old Leake near Boston who hand rears lost souls (hedgehog souls only). Off we went in the mini. Me, Zai and two tiny spiky babies... Angela was amazing (Caddington Hedgehogs). She is going to rear them and let us know how they get on. She did say that they were too small to have survived anyway. This is possibly to do with odd summer weather conditions - late breeding or loss of first litter. OK I realise this has nothing to do with the barns but I just thought you should all know!!
