    Rat problem

    I have seen rats described as neophobes; they don't like new things/change so introducing new things to an area or just moving things around upsets them and discourages them.

    What's buzzing flying near you 2026

    2 of the 4 Puffins at Dancing Ledge, very distant. Unfortunately the numbers are getting less and they haven't bred for many years so they will eventually die out.
