WHEN a group of young people from Crediton camped for a week's surfing near Polzeath in Cornwall they never expected to find a family of hedgehogs had been born under their tent.

One said: "Something was rustling under the floor, it woke me up a few times. When we collapsed the tent there was this nest bang smack in the middle of the tent, under one person's sleeping bag.

"We left it and contacted the RSPCA to ask what to do. They said to cover the nest up and leave it. We told the people at the camp site and have not heard anything since."
