AT this time of year, the first hedgehogs are spotted emerging hungry from hibernation.
Every year, thousands of these poor hungry creatures are killed on the roads, along with a whole host of other wildlife and pets.
Fitting a clever little device to vehicles can reduce this terrible loss. The Animal Alert is a small high frequency easily fitted whistle that alerts animals to the oncoming vehicle giving them time to flee from the road.
