Ok this morning we woke up to find that we have our first resident in the Hog Box. He / She has been fidgeting around all day.
We have some nice captures of the Hog having a good Yawn.

We have also discovered that when this Hog settled down in the Box last night two others were having a good barge about over the food outside. This was a surprise to us as we thought we only ever had two visitors.

I will have to create some videos and place them on the site.

I have been working on the website today trying to get the streaming and playback links working correctly. It’s hard to do this when you can’t look at the feed from within your home network using an external IP address point back at yourself..  (if that makes sense).

Anyway finally got it working.

I have also been working on the graphics, drop shadows on the pictures and resizing of the logo trying to get the proportions right.

Just need to work on some more content for the site now…….

So I decided to purchase a Hedgehog House, made a few modifications and fitted an IR camera. Placed the box in a quite location of the garden where nobody ever goes (i think there’s on of those in every garden where all the junk gets stored) and on the second night (last night) the Hog briefly visited the box. You can watch the box live using the following link live feeds link on the home page.

Around the beginning of May we noticed that the security light in the back garden was going on and off a lot. I decided to wait in the conservatory to see if i could spot the cause. And then we saw them! Yes two hedgehogs came trumbling across the patio and down into the garden.  So that night we put out some cat food to see if we could entice them into have a snack. We then hid in the conservatory and waited, they came back up the garden and wiped the plate clean. The following day we picked up some hedgehog food from the local garden centre and from that day onwards our two visitors have turned up every night.  

I then decided to set up an infra-red camera next to the feeding area so that we could observe them without disturbing with them, footage and a live feed can be seen on the cam page of this site.
