LOL Morning Bob, I've never seen as many slugs/snails in my life lately.
They're eating some of my plants leaving only the stalk.

Morning Phil, I've never seen the blackbirds or song thrushes eat these snails

It must be fantastic to see the variety of birds there, I like to watch the birds here feeding on the bird feeders with nuts in them when I'm sat in the conservatory.
We used to see lots of Sparrow hawks that nested on top of the old cotton mills but I don't see them any more
I had to take one of those 'Fat log feeders' down because the snails & slugs found their way to it & it was covered in slime.
I've noticed a lot more sparrows,starlings,t1ts and finches this year then the last few years which is goods news. They seemed to have declined to a point where you almost never saw them.
