I should have said that I am in Cardiff.
After talking to the neighbors , there are loads of them round here, some even
bigger!!!.

We have moved to the country after being in the inner city, it's "GREAT" all the
wildlife.

Have already seen a slow worm, the hedgehogs frolic on the lawns at night as
well, boy don't they make some strange noises!!


You wait 'til the Owls start bonking!! Wotta racket!!

But seriously folks - if you want to encourage interesting wildlife
into your garden then you're going to have to focus on the 'wild'.

Resist the temptation to be too neat and tidy - and find a spot of a
patch of old carpet.. the slow worms will love it ( and so will the
beetles ), and you'll soon have a thriving colony.
