Netting - think please!
Rushed a young Hedgehog to Tiggywinkles yesterday evening- a good 30-40 mins drive away.
It had been caught in someones plastic pea netting. So sad to see.
It had been cut free by a kind plot holder, but I went to check and found it back in same patch with the remnants of netting wound so tight round its back/neck and twisted tightly round a clump of its its spines!
I tried to cut it free but it was to difficult for me.
Guess it had been there since night before, yesterday was so hot, it would have been in full sun all day trying to wriggle free.
Yes, I use netting but its made into wooden frames. cheap to make really and a lot quicker to use. Not had a single thing trapped in 12 years
I have freed 2 black birds recently and now the Hog - not from my patch I must add.
Please, Please take great care with netting etc.
Thank you
ps this is not a big grumble, more a plea really
