Creatures that visit your garden?

[The Ripper]

I have a hedgehog living in the, well, hedges.

These guys are also plentiful:

You mean something other than a free source of food/money? I doubt they are capable of such deep thought.

Maybe you wouldn't be so ignorant on the subject if you actually had some interaction with them - you know: get robbed, coursed, spat at and the like.


A few years ago hummingbird hawk-moths used to visit our garden during the summer:



But I haven't seen them the last few summers... Maybe it's from all the pollution.

yes i have suffered much abuse and violence from negros you ignorant ass i live in a overwhelming black majority.
i have also been treated with kindness from other negros who had tended to me when i had typhoid and no one elese would see me and and when one crazed negro tried to rob me it was 30 plus other negro that surrounded him and told him that he cant rob people and they never wanted to see him that part of town again.
but again your right im ignorant of blacks after all i speak two black languages and am well versed in the history of many black majority countries.
but hey what do i know i am just a ignorant person who doesnt make posts about wanting to smash children with bats! yeah real ignorant!!

As members in my country will know, there have been recent cases of them attacking infants.

Really? Have there been more fox attacks on kiddies recently that I haven't heard about?

The media do like a sensational story. Fox attacks on humans are incredibly rare, hence the media hype that surrounded the baby incident.

Anyway, back to the topic, my garden is visited by my neighbour's tabby cat (who seems to have decided that I'm her new owner) and a young fox. I saw both in the early hours of this morning having a good sniff of each other on my front lawn! When I opened my bedroom window the fox stood there looking at me for a bit before pottering casually around the lawn, having another sniff of the cat and heading into the nearest woods.

I think foxes are beautiful creatures, despite the fact I used to keep pet chickens and lost a lot to fox strikes over the years.

Bunnies! Lots and lots of bunnies! Also, a plethora of tiny toads.

Daily visitors:


Robin

Blackbirds

Blue tits

Collared doves

Magpies

Thrushes

Regular visitors:


House Sparrows - they feed and live in bushes behind the house of some old people on the street

Plenty of common frogs and toads in spring

European Rabbits

A pair of goldfinches

Butterflies, colonial bees, wasps and solitary ground bees also inhabit the garden in the warmer parts of the year.
There's also a huge aphid and their predators - ladybird population around the sycamores which grow wild everywhere in summer.

The countryside where I work is teeming with wildlife, common species such as crows, magpies and grey squirrels are everywhere as are pheasants but also many song birds which don't visit the towns and minks and badgers.

My neighbours cats. I even saw one walking into my study last summer while I was reading a book. It was hot as hell and I had left all doors and windows open.
