Hedgehogs in the garden

Two hedgehogs in my garden.
I haven't been weeding the garden like I should have, so now we have a cute hedgehog pair living there. They sleep curled up and half-hidden under the foliage most of the day and at the end of the day you sometimes see them foraging on the lawn, digging up worms, insects and the like.

We can even touch them and they play possum - not moving. One did flick his quills up at me when I moved some foliage to get a better shot at him (or her) with the camera. They are sooo very cute!
