Carl captured this super-cute image of a hedgehog during one of the night photography sessions.

A macro lens such as the Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro USM is perfect & a tripod would also be useful. A wide-angle lens would also come in handy if you fancied capturing some landscapes or getting creative with your wildlife shots.
