Out on a bike ride a few days ago, I noticed a movement by the side of the road. It was a hedgehog (or Igelkott in Swedish). It was busy trying not to be seen by anyone and especially not by nosy photographers. We locked eyes for a few seconds, and then I snapped a couple of photos before the hedgehog decided it was time to head off to safety.

Well spotted!
That's completely adorable! Nicely done. :)
Great capture of an elusive animal. I have seen a hedgehog in Germany, but never in the USA. Maybe we do not have them in the western hemisphere.
Nice shot, Steffe. It does make one wonder how hedgehogs get dates . . .
Oh no! German: igel, kot
sounds romantic!
in dutch its an "egel", i always found hedgehog a weird word as its sooo totally different from the dutch.. :)
Cool shot... love the 'hair'. Ha!
What an adorable shot! I'm glad it waited long enough for you to get this shot. I have never seen one myself, only pictures.
What a great capture! I don't think I've seen one up close before!
These are so fascinating. We don't have these here.
Oh my! What a cutie!! (A dangerous cutie)... I've never actually seen one of these before. Very nice.
So cute.
Nice!
Great job to get the hedgehog in focus and not the grass.
Too cute. :)
