Visible to anyone in the world

Tonight walking home (we both were) I saw a hedgehog.

Once I saw these these little animals every night in summer but now they seem uncommon and I mourn.

Passing a grassy bank – I heard a familiar rustle. I froze; waited; and sure enough a hedgehog emerged; snuffled its way on a circuit (pausing to eat a morsel at one point); then scrambled back up the bank and away.
