This is the second great month in the harvest hedgerow year and the hedgerow is laden with a wide variety of fruit. Small mammals such as bank voles, common shrews, hazel dormice and hedgehogs scuttle around putting aside food for the winter months. Meanwhile, hungry wood mice, who cannot wait to eat, feed themselves on the fallen fruit before they start their long winter sleep.
