They certainly don't hibernate around here Amber! They are always in our garden - spring, summer, autumn & winter. They can be a pain digging up bulbs, etc., but that's my fault for feeding them! They are so comical & I love watching their antics!
They actually nest in the Churchyard trees, near our house.
