Dawn was breaking when I heard the strange noises outside. I drew the curtains and opened the shutters to investigate. Our garden had transformed into an urban wildlife park. My father was there playing the role of zoo keeper, busy feeding the squirrels, hedgehogs, and rare birds with grain from his pockets. I rushed to the kitchen to find my camera and capture the scene.

I was delighted with all my photos, especially the one of the baby hedgehogs lodged into the garden wall like a set of spiky formation dancers. I couldn’t wait to the upload the series of shots to my photo journal and see what everyone else thought of my urban wildlife scenes. But then disaster struck: a message appeared on my camera screen to say that to operate it again I needed to update the software, and that the first stage of updating the software was to wipe all the photos in memory.
