Found this little guy looking for food after hibernation.

Hedgehog numbers are known to have dropped by up to half in recent years in the UK, Sweden, Germany and Austria. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) changed the hedgehog's threat classification from 'Least concern' to 'Near threatened' in 2024 — attributing the decline primarily to human activity as well as environmental pressures.

What a sweet, sweet photo. I have wonderful childhood memories of hedgehogs in our garden in the UK. I have read about their significant decline in the years since and it is very disturbing. I am so glad you found this endearing little one and I hope it survives. V
