This is baby Nately. Found out in the day, so already dying, and taken home by the finder.
A wonderful, kind, and compassionate act.
But then the good intentions went bad.
Instead of getting him straight to a rescue to be treated urgently, as the emergency that he, and any other hedgehog seen out in the day time is, he was kept.
So poor Nately had to continue suffering the pain, and now the additional fear and stress of captivity, until the children came home from school, so they could see him and be entertained.
But then his torment wasn't finished - Nately had to endure more precious wasted hours, as he struggled to stay alive, until the finder's husband came home from work and he could be exhibited again.
Finally, that evening, he was taken - to a vet.
Vets are for domestic animals only, they are not wildlife trained, and most will just PTS wildlife.
Fortunately for Nately it was my lovely vets, who are professional enough, and humble enough to know the only safe option for Nately was to refer him straight to a rescue, so called me to see if I would take him.
Nately has made it through the night but his outlook is very poor indeed, because of this delay. He is emaciated, and utterly overwhelmed by internal parasites.

The finder knew enough to know that a hedgehog out in the day is seriously ill, so needs help. I have no doubt that had Nately cried, the finder would keep up her good intentions and treat him like any other sick animal, by getting him help immediately, as her kindness is evident.

But sick wild prey animals don't vocalise their distress. A cry of pain from a prey animal in the wild would be:
"Hey! HEY! I'm hurt and sick and too weak to put up a fight. Anyone want to come and eat me?"
They don't lie around looking sick, for the same reason. Instead they hide their weakness, struggle on, suffer their pain in silence. They eat when food is offered, because they never know when that might happen again.
Please don't mistake this desperate survival tactic as being 'quite happy, running around, eating'.
A hedgehog out in the day is an emergency, they are dying - please always get them to a rescue urgently.

DISTRACTION TV ...
Names and places changed to protect the innocent..
Escape to the Country .
Josh and Tamara are looking to leave their busy London lives after lockdown afforded them the facility to work from home..
Having made a killing on their London Flat, they have a health budget of £700k.. Smug twats!

Josh already owns a Barbour jacket and some Hunter wellies, and feels he'll fit right into country life, although he hasn't used a gun since private school when he was assaulted with a water pistol.

Tamara is an artist, but hasn't sold any of her work, as she really wants her pieces to go to the right people..that's any fkr daft enough to pay £5000 quid for a wall hanging made from 16 rusty bed springs, five Scammel wheel nuts and an some pheasant tail feathers collected from road kill.

The presenter Jason, is struggling to keep up the level of enthusiasm he had in series two after dealing with more than his fair share of picky middle aged women who seem to want to put their stamp on things, including the dreary men prepared to put up with them. A couple of quick lines of the old Columbian marching powder gives Jason the stamina and vigor to go on..
They're looking in The Cotswolds at Splatter on the Water, a quaint place of thatched roofs, intebred locals with gliding eyes and more than their fair share of slaver..
The show won't include this of course, instead they're visiting local artist, another offcomer from London, who's found a niche market exporting fake old masters to thick as fk oil tycoons in Texas.
Previously known as Freddy The Fence.. now trading as Fredrique Collectables.
The first property wasn't right for Tamara, as there was nowhere for a studio.
Property number two is in another picturesque village ,
Shortish in the Legg, another Straw Dogs style Hamlet where the pub goes quiet when a stranger walks in and women still smoke pipes.
Property two hadn't got that homely feel Tamara was hoping for and the discovery of a local man called Billy playing with himself in the barn who asked Tamara if she'd like a go, put the couple off a bit, though this was never mentioned in the show
So it's on to the mystery house.

The host who by now is off his head on the white stuff describes the property as in need of slight attention. Tamara's nostrils are already flared and the closest thing Josh has got to DIY is masturbating a nubile young wench on PornHub in the gents at work with his phone on mute. No it's not for them ..
The cheesy host shrugs his shoulders, another unsuccessful property search adding it to the 1600 they've done previously, the music plays to fade out and has kept viewers minds off the big stuff for another day!

@MrsLScotland @sharrond62 This was from a few years ago - a lovely Bee man came & rehomed the swarm. He visited a couple of times & took the nest when all the Scout bees had returned - he was absolutely fascinating.

Post from a Beekeeper 🐝
“Its late, and maybe in the morning I'll delete this post, but I've just got home and for now I need to write this down.
Earlier this evening I received a message from a home owner to say they had a swarm of bees in their hedge, but they were worried about them because children had been throwing water at them.
By the time my fellow beekeeper and I arrived, what had been a beautiful prime swarm was reduced to a few hundred drenched bees, huddling limply around their queen.
I've already deleted the photos of the puddles of water, the dripping wet hedge, and the many, many dead and dying bees that hadn't been able to escape the attack; sharing those pictures serves no purpose.
We gently placed the bees that had survived into a collection box, and hopefully tomorrow, when they've had chance to dry out and settle, we'll check on them and if necessary feed them; they'll be exhausted and possibly (understandably) defensive. They've been through a lot.
Please, please, help me to educate your children, your grandchildren, your neices and nephews, your neighbours, your colleagues and your friends that a swarm of bees isn't dangerous - they're amazing creatures that are just looking for a new home.
Please don't let anyone harm them.
Just call a beekeeper who will gladly rehome them.
Please help me to spread this message and hopefully save any more bees from being unnecessarily harmed” 😢
Sad and unhappy Beekeeper
