We have been seeing this visitor outside of the kitchen window here at the western edge of the New Forest and finally got a picture. They are having long drinks of water at around 18:30 in the evening from the bird bath / outside dog water dish. In this hot weather it must be a relief. We put some hedgehog food down for it for later when it had left, alongside the scattered bird seed.

They then went into the bushes and you can see their little legs in the second picture.
