In Cumbria, my visitor is known as an urchin. Prior to the enclosures act, they were called this more widely due to their resemblance to sea urchins. Urchins not being a common part of the UK diet, it is more likely that it stems from an older PIE root for ‘bristle’. #hedgehog #urchin #etymology

Listen to bats (soprano pipistrelles) in real time thanks to the echo meter I was using at the same time I filmed them. Make sure your sound is on.

Mystery ‘Easter’ cross-creator update. Turns out it is field mice who created the Easter homage. It is a behaviour known as caching. Usually they take food and hide it for later. I can only assume as there is too much food to take and hide that they are instead bringing things to hide it for later.

The sweetest game of chase you ever did see. I swear half way through the clip, when one mouse takes a snack break, the other taps it on the tail to get it to come back and play. 😍

Mary had a little lamb (or two) who showed up late on Friday night wanting baa & baa... except I’m not Mary! (Part 1)
