Everyone who likes wildlife and has a garden<br />
tends to have bird feeders, unless you happen to<br />
reside in California, USA and a few other<br />
places, where the feeding of wildlife is<br />
prohibited. These feeders do attract many birds<br />
and other, occasionally unwonted, animals. So<br />
far we have been visited by foxes, muntjac<br />
deer, and of course Rats and Mice. The rats are<br />
gone the mice are persistent.<br />
We also get visits from Hedgehogs and due to<br />
the garden pond we get frogs and toads. Last<br />
year we evicted over 200 toads from the pond<br />
releasing them into a new home in the local<br />
river.<br />
The pond also attracts Dragonflies, wasps, bees<br />
and hornets., along with flies of various shapes<br />
and sizes, all of which bite, and all apparently<br />
like me very much.<br />
