It appears that the hedgehog has gone to ground for the winter. Last night was the first night he failed to turn up since he first paid us a visit. I hope he is all snug and warm in his winter billet. I will keep an eye out for him over the coming months as him being a little fella his is likely to need a feed before the spring. Only the larger ones tend to hibernate right through.
He must have sniffed something in the air last night,when I peered out of my bedroom window this morning,the cars and grass in the street had a coat of frost on them glistening in the warm orange glow of the street lights.
Here is a photo of a black swan for this weeks colour wheel.
