:D :D :D Oh Brilliant Pal...!!!! :D :D :D

Could be either vole or shrew as we have lots of these plus all species of mice, both inside and outside the house. Do you know if stoats occasionally come inside as I get droppings in my loft that are more onto the size of cats poo, but we have no cat. Or can you advice what sort of an animal...

The pigeon he was enjoying belonged to next door but one, (ha ha).Only problem he was disturbed by next doors dog that came through the fence, and I had to clean up the leftovers, still a load of feathers about, but the other birds (when they return) might use them for nesting.Very pleased...

Thanks I will try.and buy some seed.

Im off in the morning and I will keep you posted on whether northern birds are fussy eaters.

WOW :eek:

True Lol, I don't think many healthy adults have been killed by an Adder, it is usually the young or old who don't have resistance to the vemon but even so it is a particularly nasty experience to go through. Fortuntely snakes will avoid us if they can. Compared to Australia where there are more...

Ohh wonderful Strongy ,nearer to go to Carlisle for me than Dumfries.

Thanks

I have four guinea pigs - completely pampered indoor piggies. I know that it is commonplace in the UK to keep these critters outdoors, in a wooden hutch, but - softy that I am - I would never dream of leaving them outside in our climate!These two at least have the 'run' of the garden, and...
