About The Authors

Since meeting in early 1999 Catherine and Mark have progressively been exploring the world via land and water, maximising weekends and holidays to get off the beaten track. Over the years they have progressed from hike tent to camper trailer to caravan and motorhome, and Tassie the Burmese cat joins them on the adventure.

Forgot to put food out last night, so #hedgehogs are in early this evening for their dinner. They still appreciate the water even though it is raining! #somerset #summer #hoghouse #greenfeatherscamera @greenfeathers cc @karen.dyse

#Hedgehog (possibly 2? but how do you tell them apart?) returned last night and didn’t have to share its food! Hurrah! Field mouse popped in at the end to shelter from the early morning rain shower. Remember, although it looks light, this is in pitch black conditions. #nightvision #greenfeathers #summer #britishwildlife #somerset

Don’t forget that your garden wildlife also gets thirsty in this warm weather, so if it hasn’t rained in a while, like in Somerset, leave a bowl out, they’ll appreciate it! #hedgehog #fieldmouse #summertime #britishwildlife

Which country are we in?

It’s after 6pm in Edinburgh, Scotland after a cool and blustery week in the Orkney Islsnds. Blog coming when we finish the washing!

We had a new visitor last night, Mrs Badger. Looking at her, I would say she has cubs waiting for her back in the sett <3 She’s snuffling the dropped seeds from the bird feeders above…

We had hogs and squirrels in our hedgehog feeding

We had hogs and squirrels in our hedgehog feeding station…not sure why the hogs were not picked up inside, but some food was eaten. Early days :-)

Learnings from Hedgehog feeding station night #1:

Learnings from Hedgehog feeding station night #1:

1. My feeding implements are too big for the space, so need to downsize
2. The Wildlife Camera is too big for the space, so need to relocate blue tit nest camera
3. One hedgehog was happy to come in and eat - entered by one door and left by the other - therefore proving the dimensions are right. And one field mouse came in for an explore but was more interested in the birdseed than hog food.
4. The neighbour’s cat did not come in and eat half the biscuits, and Mrs Fox didn’t either. Success!

Have ordered a bracket to mount the camera on, and I already have smaller bowls in mind…let’s see how night #2 goes!

Well, last night it seemed we had #Hedgehog wars. Hog #1 was happily munching away, when BigHog #2 arrived, unhappy. A fight ensues, and Hog #1 gives up early and rolls into a ball. BigHog #2 has a little snack before rolling Hog #1 away from the scene….too funny!

What are we doing here?

Rather than post everything on Facebook, we decided it would be better to capture our journey in one place - here we hope to share our photos, drawings and stories to bring you vicariously along with us on our adventure...
