Midland Red	18 of 40 Wed 24th Jul 2013 1:11pm Apologies for the poor picture quality - these were spotted in our garden on 15 April (Fat Frank on the left had been around for several weeks, sadly we have not seen them since)

Midland Red	21 of 40 Wed 24th Jul 2013 2:10pm Thanks - yes they can be amusing to watch, but at the end of the day they're really rats with bushy tails We had a devil of a job finding bird-feeders that really are squirrel-proof, despite all the claims, they're not easy to find Now the squirrels only have access to the fat ball feeder and the droppings from the bird feeders, whilst the birds have sole access to their nuts and seed

Old Lincolnian Coventry	26 of 40 Mon 29th Jul 2013 11:09am When we first moved into our present house we were on a "frog migration route". Every autumn frogs used to travel from a garden pond to a local pool for overwintering via our garden. Unfortunately if we had the back door open many would come into the house, be unable to get out again and either end up in the hallway or in some cases find their way upstairs so we would rescue them and take them to the pool. This happened for about five years and then it stopped, we later found out that the garden pond had been filled in. Funnily enough we never saw them going the other way in spring.

morgana the secret garden Thread starter	27 of 40 Mon 29th Jul 2013 9:23pm Such a shame the garden pond was filled in. I know the past few years there has been a shortage of frogs in this country like this year a shortage of ladybirds through the wet weather destroying their food.

scrutiny coventry	28 of 40 Wed 31st Jul 2013 12:44pm Managed to creep up to the french windows to snap this. The woodpecker is normally with its mate. They are very skittish so I had to crawl up to the window. It is pecking the ants out of a nest, does a good job aerating the lawn. You will prob have to zoom in a bit.

You should have left the front door open!
