Hedgehog, such a cute but very shy little beast.
I woke up early the other day since I had to take the morning flight to Athens. As I came out I happened to stumble on this little fellow. He seemed pretty friendly at first and he tried to approach me. I quickly grabbed my camera and started taking pictures. Unfortunately it was still dark and the flash was often necessary. At first he was dazzled, then he got a bit worried but I guess the blinding light from the flash was preventing him from making any moves. I let him be for a few minutes and sure enough he recovers and quickly trots off seeking cover in a forest of bamboo…
About a week later he was roaming around in broad daylight which is rare for a hedgehog but lucky for me as I got to take some great picture. I actually think it’s the same one. But who knows…
