A visiter....

We have a cat, and I feed a couple of stray cats. I was just saying to hubby that there must be a little visiter who tips over the cat bowls.... well last night we saw him..... a hedgehog.


I also feed the local birds like sparrows, pigeons and black birds. We also have a bat, who must be living in our (un-used) chimney, he comes out for a fly around, just after dusk.
