Hi Nic, the long mouldy summer is over but you’d hardly notice as the weather isn’t too different.
I hope you had a good hoggy summer & your biffing hogs managed to make some babies between them. Our garden was pretty regularly visited by someone spiky then last week I opened the feeder to find a large number of rat droppings in it so it’s been left empty every since. I’ll resume hog feeding in a few weeks in the hope Ratty & co disappear from the scene meantime.
Bats must have been struggling with the rain, hopefully they found enough food to survive the wet weather somehow. Apparently it greatly affected birds like ospreys as when the weather isn’t warm insects don’t gather as much if at all over water for fish to swim up to catch so they stayed too deep for fish eating birds to get regular supplies to feed their offspring.
Hope you have some hogs still entertaining you.
