In your garden, what have you got?

My neighbours and I have put effort into getting hedgehogs to move in and so far it is working.

I've still got the back doors open and I've just heard an owl.

It's made me feel extra happy

Just moved house, so nothing at the moment, but we used to have so many birds in the garden due to our feeders. Loads of finches, tits, sparrows, wrens, blackbirds, siskins, pigeons, jackdaws, starlings... just constant activity. The sparrowhawks occasionally turned up, too.

Terrestrial life was limited to hedgehogs, moles, mice and slow worms

We are lucky enough to back directly onto farmland & the garden is next to the house not behind it so 15ft from the back door are the fields, first thing I did when I moved in was take the fence down.

I walk the dog at dusk with bats flying around us, sometimes go for dark walks & hear owls & today had the welcome return of a few soaring buzzards, rabbits are everywhere too. Beats living in Brixton which is where i'm from

Yes it's true sadly. Part of the problem is garden fences. Hedgehogs have a nightly round of feeding spots. Fences stop them getting to food

Oh I do! fresh water daily, through September there will be cat biscuits down too to make sure she's in good form to hybernate. I hand reared a baby I found 4 yrs ago, he still visits my mum's garden where I was living at the time.x

With three cats, one of whom is a psycho killer, "live" wildlife in our garden is pretty limited apart from the occasional frog and very brave bird. We do however live on the edge of a wood and farmland so get plenty of night time noise from foxes, owls and the like. In fact am sitting here now listening to an owl calling.

We get frogs and toads moving through our garden to the neighbours pond, hedgehogs hide in our woodpile and keep our herb garden free of slugs. Pretty sure we have some mice hiding between our and the neighbours fencing panels.

We live in an suburban area between a park and some sheep fields nearby, so we occasionally get treated to a fox passing through, or owls in an evening.

Plenty of bats when the weather is warm, and we often get red kites and sparrow hawks flying overhead/resting on our house/garage.

Not bad for a suburb of Leeds.

I forgot the tree frogs ;

April/ may they are in the local streams and ponds; deafening racket all night.

Plus toads living in my log piles .

We have wild boar in the fields, but never seen one in the garden.

Also Fouines ( French for beech martens or stone martens ) see them in the trees; they sometimes get into house lofts and eat the wiring or the insulation .

Loads of it.

Deer come through, Ive seen the odd badger. I know s' about because the dogs have been on at him, squirrels. All manner of birds - I have a wren lives in the tree opposite my dining table who I see fairly often. My pond has damselflies, dragonflies and palmate newts, there's at least two wood ant nests around......
