Oh no 😔 To be fair I don't think posties know they've dropped these elastic bands they are carrying so much stuff on their shoulders and in their hands on a round. Not saying it's OK but can see how it happens. Hope he got free of it anyway. 🦔
The BHPS have posters, leaflets etc highlighting this danger to hedgehogs etc., you can contact them for some to be sent to you, even a sticker to place on your letter box too!
I pick up elastic bands regularly from the drive of my home here in Cheshire. I imagine Royal Mail are performing this littering operation all over the country.
The 2023 hedgehog season has begun! It is immediately made clear who the boss (hedgehog king) is at the hedgehog feeding ground. In my garden in Germany only one little female hedgehog has come back from hibernation so far.
Thank you, I haven't been away, with so may videos posted it's not often that there's anything new to see. The hogs are doing as well as ever and there are just as many, thankfully. Best wishes NH
