When the air cools and the dusk deepens, the hedgehog stirs — snuffling through leaves and garden paths in search of beetles, worms, and quiet shelter. Ireland’s only spiny mammal, it carries its defences on its back and its vulnerability beneath. Solitary and slow, it asks only for space, cover, and a way through. Roads, fences, and tidy lawns have made its journey harder — yet it remains a familiar, cherished presence in the places where wild and domestic overlap.

This piece honours the hedgehog as a keeper of quiet gardens — a gentle wanderer in a world too fast.
