More evidence of them really, upturned earth, animal trails etc. 
Not a rare sight, but unusual to see so many. At the bottom of the field where they’re pictured there is a stream and some cleared woodland, thick regrowth and brambles, ideal for passing the day unseen.

They’d tear him apart if he caught a hoglet and it squealed.

 

He spectated with me.

Yeah the estate I work on and have done for 20 years. Haven't ever seen one myself. However this year I have seen 3 photos of hedgehogs that people have seen on the site in the evening. So things are looking up for the hogs.
