Hedgehogs and squirrels are also frequently found in British gardens but are not treated in the same way as Rats and Mice. I don't understand why they get such a raw deal. They do good things in the garden, like eating slugs and snails as well as other bugs. They just don't look as cute I suppose.

We love seeing the wild birds in our garden, and always feed them! We had 13 Long Tailed Tits this morning, they're so sweet. My chooks water keeps freezing as well, very annoying!

We are feeding the birds and foxes and getting plenty of wildlife calling in for food ... trouble is, as fast as we put the food out it gets covered in snow! Really heavy snow here and the bus is not going it's usual route as too dangerous.

We have a 15ft trampoline that stays clear of snow so we put the food under there.

I agree Wendy, all wildlife is welcome in my garden, trouble is I live in town so I don't get much wildlife, but at my home where I grew up we fed everything , birds, squirrels, foxes, mice in the shed , once we had a visiting rat, plus all our animals. They all deserve a place .
