Yes, they're a bit close to winter to be so young - I hope they both survive.
I wondered if your shown location was correct?

Hugh, it could be a mystery!!
Was taking pictures of my niece making big bubbles with a wand while all the dogs were trying to bite them all. I just so happen to catch this perfect shot at the very moment where the dog, Miko, was biting the bubble, which just so happened to catch my granddaughter "within" the bubble. Fun family shot!
Just before sundown at a popular eatery.
Horace is still asleep, so I assume his hibernation has started - here's another from yesterday.
If he stays asleep we will cover over his nest with a box to protect him from winter, and leave a doorway for ventilation and eventual return in the spring.

Another meh autumn scene. Could have done with a bit more tree colour and a bit more water in the river - some people are never happy Comments always appreciated.

Not actually planned!

That's kind of an exposed spot for true hibernation. This one could be what those who know more than I do call an Autumn juvenile and may need a bit more care. Here's a link to a British Hedgehog information site. Quite interesting fellow.

And here's an interesting survey. Kent is/was (2014) the number 4 county feeding the critters.

Thank you, Dale. It appears there's a hedgehog rescue centre less than 5 miles away and I will contact them this evening for help.
There is also an awake juvenile roaming around in next door's garden so I reckon something bad must have happened to the parents

The light at the left are from the street and other lights in Fort Wainwright and Fairbanks. I was a Chena Lakes.
Phone photos of cats? This is an all time time low. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Here's a headshot captured at f1.2...and **** yes I somehow got the eye in focus.

Taking a lead from the Weekly Photo Contest theme, here's a hand-held shot of the choir of Chester Cathedral. Canon 15-35mm f4 L IS - the IS certainly worked well in conjunction with the good high-ISO performance of the 6D (0.1sec f/6.3 ISO 1600). I even managed to avoid getting anyone into the frame! Comments always appreciated.

Nice, but just a bit high on the left. Just a quick fix should do it.Taking a lead from the Weekly Photo Contest theme, here's a hand-held shot of the choir of Chester Cathedral.

At least it was a photo of a cat not a snap!
I'm pretty sure you'll get the focus right more often than not!

We took Horace to the hedgehog lady this afternoon, and she said he is only 3-4 weeks old, and about a quarter of the weight hedgehogs need to hibernate.
He's now on a heatpad to warm him up (he is a he apparently), and will get fed and cared for throughout the winter if he survives the first few days.
We gave a donation and arranged that he can come home when he is ready for the wild again - probably about March - April next year.
This creature has a little more chance of survival - that's unless I catch him digging a hole in my garden for a poo again...
