Last night we saw one #hoglet and tonight there were two! Baby #hedgehogs are the cutest! #ukwildlife #wildlife #nature

Two baby hedgehogs, also called hoglets, on a patio at night. One is eating dry cat food from a flan dish and the other is just walking past.

England is back to London its normal state of grey and wet. Brilliant! That hot dry weather was freaking me out!

A view through a window covered in raindrops at a construction site yard full of large cable drums. The sky is very grey and it is raining. Everything is wet.

Partial #eclipse shadows dancing through the wisteria onto a white plastered wall. In #Coventry , UK

A white plastered wall in an open porch is shown. The sunlight is coming through a wisteria plant that grows over the front and side of the porch and the gaps between leaf shadows are often small enough to act as pinholes and small crescent shapes of sunlight appear.

Harvested my lemon verbena (verveigne), for the second time this year. Once dried, I should have more than enough to see me through the winter! A couple of leaves in a cup of hot water makes a very tasty tea. #tea #herbs #Gardening

Some green stems with green leaves arranged on a tea towel to dry out.

Mallard duck and ducklings on the Sherbourne River, viewed from the Charterhouse bridge. #Wildlife #UKWildlife #Nature #Duck #Coventry

A mother duck swims in a shallow river with a group of small cute fluffy ducklings. The morning sun is catching the sides of the ripples as they swim making a lot of contrast. Rocks can be seen close below the surface of the water, which the ducklings sometimes stand on for a rest.

Pretty flowers in my garden (ignore the stacks of building materials in the background!) #bloomscrolling

An island of flowers including purple sage flowers, pink and white campion, some large white daisy-type ones and some yellow/orange ones (sorry not good with flower names), surrounded by grass, some of which has been left long. In the left foreground are some stone steps. In the background are some ton bags and piles of timber.

After today's downpours, the rainwater tank is back up to 100% ! Woohoo! For the nerds: it is a 3000 litre Graf tank under our back garden patio. This unit is in the garage and pumps from the tank into pipes that go around the house feeding water to the toilets […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

A rainwater tank control unit has a small indicator showing the tank is 100% full

Now there are two! (and a rat came to have a look and then ran off when the hedgehogs looked at him) #hedgehogs

London Road Cemetery, #Coventry. Also known as Paxton's Arboretum. The small pink flowers are known as Herb Robert, or 'Stinky Bob' because if you break the stems it doesn't smell nice.

In the foreground, plants with small pink flowers called Stinky Bob and also some small blue flowers. The background is out of focus but some gravestones can be seen amongst greenery.

Had this perfect cup of coffee yesterday in the Wellcome Collection café. If you think there is a disco going on in there, it's because it's reflecting the coloured ceiling lights. #TheMagicInTheMundane #Coffee

A pale green cup of black coffee on matching saucer on a clean white table top. There are dancing colours in the surface of the coffee as it reflects the ceiling lights.

Two #hedgehogs so far this evening! This is the larger one that we think is male because it seems to be sometimes courting the smaller one.

Two hedgehogs eating at the same time ! The larger one seems to be sniffing at the hindquarters of the smaller one, so could be a male looking for a mate? #hedgehogs

Now there are two #hedgehogs, a larger one and the smaller one from earlier. The larger one wants mate with the smaller one but she's not allowing it.
