Meridian Hedgehogs

The team from Hampshire County Council were attending to a report of a missing drainage cover in Eastleigh when they came across the animal.

The RSPCA is bracing for what it says could be a hectic hedgehog season, as it prepares to help thousands of the creatures in the coming weeks.

Charity fears nervous animals will have to endure more fireworks displays this year due to lockdown and Covid restrictions on public events and large parties.
