lovely to see that activity ... and then they roll around in the vegetation creating a layered, well-insulated, nest!

I love how my social media feeds have been full of #JaneGoodall because it shows I am surrounded by people who care. Obviously I am saddened that the cause of this is her leap into the 'next big adventure' - but her legacy? One of the very best of us ... open.substack.com/pub/hughwarw...

hogs tend to only eat fruit inadvertently - badgers, foxes, much more omnivorous - always helpful to have a banana for scale though!

Hugh Warwick @hedgehoghugh.bsky.social · 8d

Don’t think hog as they don’t tend to eat cherries. Do you have a banana for scale?

Hugh Warwick @hedgehoghugh.bsky.social · 11d

The fact that #hedgehogs are a part of the culture of #Ukraine is a wonderful thing... they punch well above their weight and are stronger and better defended that you might expect.

"Until that moment the only Ukrainian hedgehogs in my mind were the ones placed on roads to act as tank defences!"

While the world swirls into ever increasing spirals of chaos and doom it is lovely to find a cause for hope.

1. Out of curiosity, I went through the feeds of some habitual tuna tormentors. I found they’re big on:
- fox hunting
- Reform UK
- antagonism to asylum seekers.
In other words, the same few antisocial (psychopathic?) men, turning up in all the bad places.

really lovely to see so many people turning up in support of asylum seekers in Oxford - and a shame to see how easy it is to 'other' those who want to kick them out ... aggressive, rude, keen to provoke a fight ... #antifa #antiracism @asylumwelcome.bsky.social
