This might also be co-incidental but a few days ago I found huge digging in my patio pots. In one pot with a T rose and tulip bulbs something had dug at least 6" deap and scattered the soil over the patio.
I live in a flat and my "garden" is on the roof, 3 stories high, so it is unlikely to be cats or fox. The birds that are around most of the time are seagulls, pigeons and jackdaw.
Any ideas?
I think it was another person's doing, couldn't be a bug of any kind and if an animal of any kind had been at it, you'd be able to tell because there would be mess left behind.
