Nature quest!

[Headfry]

Of all the British wild life what would you most love to see,
What would you most love to have in your garden,
What would you most love to handle?

[heebiejeebie]

owls and bats
anything that eats snails
don't know - handling takes away some of the "wild" so I'd rather just look and not touch.

Just been to my sisters in wales nice to see buzzards.

Also doing the garden of a friend's mother lots of toads.

My allotment lots of frogs.

I like them all equally.

Otters! We have badgers visit our back garden, foxes. There are buzzards that regularly fly over our plot, all sorts of birds of prey. And linnets, pippits etc, but never, EVER, seen an otter. They are supposed to visit Newtown Creek on the Island and we've been there many times but no sighting yet.

[Headfry]

Swallow tail butterflies and glow worms
great crested newts
owls

Newtown creek - Heaven, spent a truly beautiful evening moored up there last July - the roasting hot week! Oh to have been 'many times'

[Curvy Vixen]

I'd be happy with a hedgehog

The only 'wildlife' we get consists of rooks, crows, magpies and fieldmice!

[momol]

I will be very happy to have a hedgehog visiting my garden, Sea otter is the other favorite animal, but not possible to have them ... but will be very happy to just watching them, they are so cute and intelligent, they use rock as a tool too... very smart !

I would love anything that eats moles and something that eats dog poo and poos out grass seed

[TPeers]

Owls! I would love to be a falconer! Just think what my pack would say.......

[kernowyon]

around work and at the plot we get ring necked parakeets, noisy but incredibly pretty to look at. would love to see red kites, have been up around High Wycombe and seen them there, but would love to see them regularly, fantastic birds, so graceful (could help keep wood pidgeon numbers in check as well)

Pleeeeeeeeeeese let me know if you find a mole eater!!!!!!!!

[Headfry]

My cat caught an mole once...made me very sad.
A mole has made a hill in my row of radishes, very carefully brushed the earth away form baby radish, said cat came along, fresh soft earth? had a poo in the same spot....poor radish (wont eat those ones) got rid of poo only to find the very next eveing a fox had added its poo to the spot!!!! cant win some times, though I did have to laugh!

They are amazing - we have one who is a regular visitor through our garden (comes by most days) and I've had a few days with 5 circling overhead (I didn't get much done that hour).

As far as the pigeon statement goes it has absolutely no effect (we have masses of them), as kites only eat carrion - but just seeing the kites is enough for me.

just wishful thinking, every other method for trying to rid wood pigeons dosen't work either

I'm currently going down the "eat them" path, a bit slow but at least I get to take back the produce of mine that they have gorged on (and my friend with a gun is very happy to have the target practise )
