Garden trailcam videos

Hedegehogs frequented the garden of my shared house in west Norwich

I noticed that they would run along the low walls of the garden and try to climb them, without succes. So, I installed some hi-tech hedgehog steps (3 bricks and an old plant basket).

These steps rapidly became popular with the local hedgehogs, including some hoglets born that spring.

I have found camera trapping with a motion-detector trailcam to be very rewarding. It is a non-invasive method for monitoring nature and suits people like me who do not have the patience to sit in hides with a telephoto lens for extended periods of time.

Several of the clips have been uploaded to mammalweb for citizen science purposes. At the time of writing, this is the only trailcam site in Norwich.

These videos were edited together (poorly) with the openshot free video editor
