Hi Benmac1
So sad to hear about another dead hog. Difficult to know what to say. Must be really horrible for you. But, sadly it does happen sometimes on certain stretches of road. Sometimes a quiet road is more dangerous, because they aren’t expecting vehicles. But so ironic when you have such a lovely place so close by. Roadkill used to be considered a sign of a good population, but when so many die, it does make you wonder how much loss a population can stand.
Maybe you could try to get a watch out for hedgehogs sign. I understand such things do exist these days, and you have plenty of evidence. I think you might need to speak to your local authority, but it might help if you have worked out a suitable location for such a sign – i.e. not too many other signs around, easily visible, but not reducing visibility, etc. Might be worth a try.
Really hope you have some better news soon. Good luck.
