A hedgehog using one of the tunnels installed during the latest expansion of Kirtlington's #hedgehogstreet. An oak ramp with a special grippy surface connects the two gardens despite an 850mm difference! #WildlifeWednesday

5th June: Hummingbird Hawkmoth spotted "just off Bletchingdon Green". A beautiful
and interesting moth that flies during the day and not at night. It hovers like a humming bird and has been seen in recent years in Kirtlington. #spottedkirtlington #wildlife
