Hedgehog in the dark

Standing looking out of the conservatory down the garden at 22.45 on Sunday night (23rd) when I saw a hedgehog trundle across the lawn. It made its way noisily down the flowerbeds towards the house and finally settled under the bird feeding area which is in the undergrowth close to the building. It appeared to be feeding on the remnants of the sunflower seeds which were down there, although it could have been rooting for invertebrates in the layer of half eaten seeds.
The video below was taken using the night vision option on my Sony Hi8 camera. Not quite BBC quality but you get the idea.
