The operator of a hedgehog rescue home has urged people to keep checking their gardens for trapped animals as lockdown eases.
Marian Grimes at Hedgehog Haven in North Walsham says she finally has a few empty pens after months of receiving almost a hedgehog a day during coronavirus lockdown.
The rush was brought on by a gardening boom which saw more people spotting the animals in their gardens.
This time of year it is usually that bit quieter, but I ve already had a couple this year, I m definitely still busy.
