Photographed close to home in my back garden, these images capture a rare and special glimpse of a wild hedgehog in the Brecon Beacons. Watching quietly as it explored the garden at dusk, I was reminded how lucky we are to share our spaces with such secretive wildlife. Moments like this don’t come often, and being able to photograph a hedgehog naturally, without disturbance, made the experience even more meaningful. These images celebrate the quiet presence of wildlife on our doorstep and the small, fleeting encounters that often mean the most.
