Videos not allowed for direct upload - orders of the management! :lol:

Upload the video to Youtube or Vimeo etc and post the link using the link button -   

I used Flicker, pasted the URL, although not completely painlessly, I don't like the links Flicker add to the URL so I delete them, it works OK with photographs but with movies it seems more complex...

They are dried mealworms and hedgehogs LOVE them. In fact we are not supposed to give them too many as they get too obese.  But since I wanted their prolonged attention and we have 5 that come ....I started with a big handful.

I thought slugs were one of the staple diets of hedgehogs?  I've seen one fall asleep with a frog (half eaten) in its mouth. They eat anything really. We had a laugh watching a hedge hog trying to tackle a fat ball on the lawn. It was like a dung beetle rolling it around. Didn't get that on film though. ☹️ 


She had a quick look at the slug but suspect it was checking the slug wasn't nicking her mealworms...


Of course these are frame grabs from video taken at night (patio lights only) so a bit grainy and soft.


Very interesting, we don't seem to get many hedgehogs around here, shame, we get loads of slugs.

I thought the images were very good, esp. given the light.

Very difficult to choose freeze frame without blur given the rapid movement.

It's always harder than you think to freeze wildlife, you need a faster shutter speed than you think.

This tiny baby was eating on our bird table this afternoon I had time to get D850 and 500mm (no x1.4) and it is so tame this is almost full frame if I had moved any closer the lens would not focus: 1/2000sec f14 ISO 1600. I liked your one Eric. This one's mother came a bit later and was very nasty chased it away so she could eat, missed this as I was indoors with my cup of tea.

Great capture Iain. We have a muntjac that spends the day in the bushes in our front garden. The little b*gger occasionally gets into the back garden ....where it gets chased out PDQ...due to it munching my wife's price shrubs. 8-) 

The neighbour rang me yesterday to ask if I had heard the 'squealing'. Apparently a muntjac (maybe ours) got stuck in the school railings opposite. The head went through (at pace) but the bum didn't!  They had to bend the railings to free it.  It made me wonder if it was also a pregnant mum.....not realising its new midriff width?

Good capture Iain.
I get roe deer in the woods behind my house but they dont come into my garden as it is a 6 ft wall in between my garden woods and the other woods and fields.   Havent managed to actually photograph them but I see them quite often.
