Bloody foxes live under the shed and cause no end of nuisance.





There are plenty of frogs and toads, and we have seen a slow-worm.





Apart from them, we have the usual selection of birds, snails, insects and worms.

I am lucky, we have a big really wild garden and have seen rabbits, squirrels, deer, frogs and toads, and this year are lucky enough to have badgers. As for birds there are so many - woodpeckers, buzzards and peacocks being the most interesting.


Last year we had a cow visit the patio - but I dont think it was wild !! lol
worms, loads of them. but not much more as i moved into a house with a low maintenance garden that is not wildlife friendly.


used to have more when in the country.


one day i'll be back there. cant wait.
T1ts - blue, great, coal, blackbirds, thrushes, two jays, doves, hedgehogs, rats, bumble bee nest, greenfinches, goldfinches.
Where I live, there's not much wildlife, but there's plenty of introduced feral life, LOL.





earthworms (two different kinds)


Snails, two kinds including the kind eaten as escargot


Slugs (three kinds)


Plenty of insects and a few spiders.


';worm'; salamanders, California toads (haven't seen one in years though)


Alligator lizards. Fence lizards. California legless lizards. Gopher snakes.


Birds - I'm not a birdwatcher, so I don't know what kinds. Mockingbirds and scrubjays and red-tailed hawks and pigeons. Also feral parrots possibly ';red-fronted conures.';


field mice, jackrabbits, coyotes, opossums, squirrels (two species), rats, skunks, feral cats, pocket gophers.
Small deer's, wild boars, foxes, badgers, the odd snake, slow worm, grass snake etc. weasel, and all sorts of birds, I live in Switzerland at around 1500 feet and in a semi rural area that borders on a small forest, so these things are quite often seen, not every day of coarse.
We have a load of frogs. and a load of ants. and some little bugs. worms, centipedes and all the usual creepy crawlies. Every now and then we get various birds eating the bugs.
Hedgehogs and we had a fox on our shed roof once!
Rabbits, pheasants, owls, bees,


a friendly robin, lots of wild birds in fact...


lots of insects too many to mention


oh and bats too
lots of birds- blackbirds, thrushes, magpies, ravens, collared doves and wood pigeon. I saw a Jay there, once.





We also get squirrels and hedgehogs. Last year we had a vixen, and she used to take food from our hands, and even used to come into the kitchen, to be fed. She wasn't seen for a few weeks, then when she turned up again, she had 2 babies with her.
