Hedgehog, Pratincole & first Gatekeeper in the garden

On Thursday 10th July at 7pm in borad daylight, I saw a Hedgehog crossing the road near no 72 I dashed out of the car to indicate to the passing car that a hedgehog was crossing and the car avoided it. I dashed out with my camera but just missed it as it went into the hedgerow of a garden. Sadly it was found 2 days later squashed on the road. On Wednesday 9th July, a trip down to Aldeburgh Marshes, I had great difficulty finding the site trying first from the Brick Dock I'd walked a mile and I could see birders about 3 miles back, so I walked back and tried from Slaughden, I took the river path but again was very unsure where to go, I saw the flash but couldn't see the Pratincole, only when I saw another birder making his way down that I followed him, but I couldn't keep up with all the gear I was carrying in 30 degrees plus heat, fortunately I bumped into Lee W. and Eddie M. who told me exactly where to go, I soon joined the birders and saw the fine Collared Pratincole sitting on the far side bank side of the flash. It stretched its wings and I saw the chestnut underwing coverts and it also bobbed his head a number of times. On the 6th July Gatekeepers seen in the front and back garden but both or the same one were extremely elusive.
