Default Daytime Hedgehog

Spotted this little chap on my way out of Rotherwick, not so sure about his health.

He was wondering around late morning and didn't seem to be in any discomfort, but concerned about his eyes, they appeared to be covered with a discharge. He appeared to be able to see, as he managed to navigate into a small tunnel, but he doesn't look right.

He also seems to have a band of paint or similar on his back.

Well spotted rolf, but no his eyes don't look right do they, and to be out and about late morning is quite worrying, hopefully he will survive

Yes, wasn't anything I could do, as he/she still would have been difficult to catch, plus you never know whether he/she was foraging to feed youngsters..
