After a period of hibernation, we're back! And with some great news to start the new year: we've achieved HFC campaign Gold accreditation! Thanks to all those #hedgehog champions across the uni! And thank you to @HogFriendly! ❤️🦔 @EdSust @EdinUniEstates @PM_Pitches @TheDickVet

@zinghomer @uoeKB @EdSust @DaveGormanUoE @HogFriendly @anna_lykkeberg @___Eszter___ @lizvmeer wow, that is an amazing photo! No hedgehog prints or footage in videos at KB, unfortunately. The site does suffer from lack of green space connectivity within it, among other things, we're focusing on improvements.

Excited to finally share some results from our hedgehog survey at King's Buildings. Tunnels were frequented by foxes & badgers (a surprise!), we got some amazing footage! Huge thx to volunteers! @uoeKB @EdSust @DaveGormanUoE @HogFriendly @anna_lykkeberg @___Eszter___ @lizvmeer

@hedgepigsyork @uoeKB @EdSust @DaveGormanUoE @HogFriendly @anna_lykkeberg @___Eszter___ @lizvmeer Glen Cousquer, in our Vet School, pointed out research showing hedgehogs are not such a large part of badgers' diets. We must focus on connectivity/edges/quality green spaces for hedgehogs on all campuses. But I would think a nearby badger sett might influence hedgehog behaviour!

@HogFriendly @uoeKB @EdSust @DaveGormanUoE @anna_lykkeberg @___Eszter___ @lizvmeer No hedgehog prints or sightings in video footage at KB, but we always have disruption of tunnels by foxes (and apparently badgers too)!
