:20:00. > :20:10.hedgehogs in this country is falling dramatically. Some think it could be
:20:11. > :20:13.more than 30% over last ten years. A survey has been lodged to try to
:20:14. > :20:19.establish how many are left in the wild. But how do you keep an eye on
:20:20. > :20:23.these elusive creatures? The countryside is changing in so
:20:24. > :20:28.many ways. Birds, bees and butterflies struggling, less
:20:29. > :20:35.habitat, so less chance of survival. The humble hedgehog is also on the
:20:36. > :20:39.decline, dramatically. The work here at this rescue centre is vital. Last
:20:40. > :20:43.year they took in more than 50 injured or abandoned hedgehogs. The
:20:44. > :20:48.majority are nursed back to health and then released. It is nice to see
:20:49. > :20:54.them go back to what they should be. We released for two weeks ago in
:20:55. > :21:01.this beautiful estate. They trundled off quite happily. They get where
:21:02. > :21:05.they need to go. A baby hedgehog is the only mammal with spines. They
:21:06. > :21:14.forage for food up to a mile away at night. They live up to five years. A
:21:15. > :21:17.hedgehog is a gardener's friend. There is minimal information about
:21:18. > :21:25.hedgehog numbers in Suffolk, which is why this new survey is vital. We
:21:26. > :21:29.are trying to establish where the hedgehogs are in Suffolk. Are there
