We see far more wildlife being back in London than we ever did living 'in the country'.
That's probably because they're losing their natural habitat through human encroachment/urban sprawl and have had to adapt their behaviour. Young squirrels are naturally fearless and inquisitive, older animals usually stay well away.Monkeylegend said:
Their speed and agility keeps them pretty safe.
That is true, a couple of weeks ago I had just got into bed and could hear a god awful shrieking. Squirrel up the tree outside my bedroom window, two cats circling at the bottom of the tree. My water pistol sorted them out (they st all over the place).sociopath said:
We have pipstrelle bats somewhere, could be the neighbours, don't know tbh, but we get a brilliant aerial display around our garden every evening just as dusk falls.
Great to just stand and watch for 15 minutes or so with a beer, before it gets too dark to see them. Completely silent in flight, (well except for their sonar which I can't hear)
We have some that live in the neighbour's roof. Come out each evening and buzz the gardens for insects.Great to just stand and watch for 15 minutes or so with a beer, before it gets too dark to see them. Completely silent in flight, (well except for their sonar which I can't hear)
Get a Bat Detector, you can hear their sonar clear as day. It's very noisy though when they're all hunting !
Just been in to the garage this morning to find a baby pigeon sat on the floor surrounded by great piles of it's own st. Must have come in yesterday afternoon and been there all night. Thankfully it seemed ok, I opened the garage door and off it went with no issues.
Just got to clean up all the crap now
