Info I saw this hedgehog making return trips in under a bush right outside my house, so eventually I took the camera and creapt in after it. It was pretty dark in there, hence the high ISO, and no way I was going to use a flash. It continued to build its nest and slept there during the winter. Most of the hedgehogs around here are very used to humans and don't react much when they see us. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Support -- Cart (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)- Support Cool that it came right beside your house. --SHB2000 (talk) 22:22, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
Oppose Green nose. And obstructing branch in front of the eye. The blurry foreground is distracting in my view, and the picture is noisy. Perhaps another angle would have worked better -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:56, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, no other angle available. Hedgehogs often live and hibernate in piles of leaves, branches and grass in gardens here in Sweden. This may look like an open place, but it was not. The nest was like a small "cave" in the heap of leaves and grass under a bush. It had a narrow short tunnel as an entrance to it, just wide enough for me to fit the lens into it. There was enough light filtering in through the branches above for a couple of photos, I was very lucky to get as much of its face as I did. Naturally, I wasn't about to stick in my hand and rearrange the nest to get an unblocked angle, even though the nest was only one meter from my mailbox, and the pathway with lots of people going by. Like I said, they are used to us humans, but rearranging their nests for a photo op is absolutely not ok. Many people here build nest boxes for hedgehogs, and sometimes they place cameras in them to monitor the activity in the nest. --Cart (talk) 11:56, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- There are very cute hedgehogs in Sweden, and in Ukraine too (this last one by George Chernilevsky could become an FP) -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:20, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oh yes there are, and they are so cute! But I haven't seen that many of them in their nests here on Commons, and that's what this nom is about. That is why I took this photo and not while it was out strolling in the open. We have no FPs of mammal nests at all. --Cart (talk) 12:38, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Not a FP for me, but clearly a useful image. Thanks for the upload -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:39, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose per Basile, but indeed this might be a good VI if it's best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
