    We love hearing about your wildlife encounters whether that is out and about or in your garden🌿🐾 . Lucy sent us this photograph of a hedgehog who has been visiting for years and is always bumbling around the garden! Named Sonic, Lucy ensures he always has plenty of food by suppling cat food to make him nice and plump 🦔🦔 . Do you have any wildlife stories you’d like us to share? let us know or post in the comments below or message us! 👇🏻👇🏻 #hedgehog #mammals #garden #plants #bbcmammalsociety #britishwildlife #birmingham #blackcountry #photography #photo #committee #conservation #countryfile #instagood #instadaily #picoftheday #nature

Kathryn from the committee has been making her garden more wildlife friendly with sightings of amphibians and hedgehog droppings 🦔 Let us know what you’ve done to make your garden more wildlife friendly. #hedgehog #wildlife #wildlifeconservation #mammals #wildgarden #wild #springwatch #ukwildlife #gardens #gardening #hedgehogsofinstagram
    Small mammals are a common food source for owls. Owls usually swallow their prey whole, since they are unable to digest fur and bone of their prey these parts are regurgitated back up in form of a pellet. An owl can produce one or two pellets a night which can contain the remains of two mammals or more! Most skulls are easy to identify, meaning owl pellets can provide information about different small mammals and where they are found. Have you ever dissected an owl pellet? Let us know what small mammals you found inside... #smallmammals #owlpellet #bones #skulls #mammals #wildlifeconservation #owlpellets #ukwildlife
