Date & Time: Saturday 25th November 2017 - 2:30pm
Species: Hedgehog
Details: A mid afternoon Hedgehog in my back garden, Auchmithie. 1st one Ive seen in my garden and at this unusual time for many a year. Stocking up for hibernation?

[Alex Shepherd]

Date & Time: Friday 8th December 2017 - 1440 hrs

Species: Common Seal. (Barry confirmed my original and changed ID, it's a Common Seal. I'd discounted it even though the nostrils were correct given Common Seals give birth in summer).

Details: Common Seal pup sitting on rocks close in as the tide rose at Westhaven, fairly approachable, looks in good condition, might stay around? I can't find a definitive document on seal ID on the web.
