Peekwild Moment: A Curious Hedgehog Visits Our Wildlife Camera at Night (Close-up Footage!)

If you’ve ever wondered what happens in your garden after dark, this little visitor has the answer.
Last night, our PeekWild wildlife camera captured an unforgettable moment: a hedgehog wandering right up to the lens, giving us a beautifully clear night-vision close-up.

Hedgehogs are naturally shy, so getting this kind of detailed footage is rare — and exactly why garden wildlife cameras are becoming so popular among nature lovers across the UK.

This clip was recorded using the PeekWild Solar WiFi Wildlife Camera, designed to capture movement even in low light. The camera automatically switched into infrared night mode, giving a crisp, detailed view without disturbing the animal.

What This Hedgehog Behaviour Tells Us

This short clip reveals a few interesting things about hedgehog behaviour at night:

• They rely heavily on scent and sound, which is why they often approach unfamiliar objects closely.

• Hedgehogs are most active between sunset and early morning, especially during warmer months.

• Getting this close to the camera is a great sign that the area feels safe for wildlife.

• These moments help you understand who’s visiting your garden and how often, which is valuable for anyone supporting local wildlife.

Why Night-Time Wildlife Footage Matters

Capturing real wildlife activity helps garden owners:

• spot regular visitors like hedgehogs, birds, or foxes

• understand patterns and feeding habits

• monitor the health and behaviour of nocturnal animals

• contribute to hedgehog conservation by identifying safe habitats

Small insights like these help create bigger conversations around protecting the UK’s garden wildlife.
