just went for my daily covid exercise around the local city park.
bloody good job I did to.

heard a strange rustling sound with no breeze and then came across poor little hedgie walking in circles with a malteasers packet stuck right over it's head.

I didn't think to take a picture or video before I freed him since I was more worried about getting the little fella free.

It was wedged on pretty good, I tried to trap the front of the bag using a stick but hedgie only wants to move forward... managed to get it off after a couple of tries trying to push it off whilst he was moving.

poor guy coulda been there all night walking in circles.

once it was off he just stood on the spot for half a minute before running on to the grass before I took this photo.
#hero-or-what!

BTW he was next to a bin that was full, it's quite possible the packet had fell out of the bin.

Take your rubbish home if the bin is full YOU MONSTERS!

hedgehogs are the best... I wish I could get one in the garden, not a pet, just one that is happy there. so fat and round.... and only defence? ball time.

Yay hedgehogs!

Good on you:)

I love hedgehogs, unfortunately I've not seen one for a long time:(
I think the badgers have chased them off.

There’s a few things over the years that have destroyed the population.
Urbanisation, fenced gardens, general habitat loss (Inc pristine Incredibly unnatural gardens), slug pellets (and other poisons), to name a few.
