I meant to post yesterday - I've seen 2 dead hedgehogs on the road
this week, where previously I've seen none (ie, between me and the
station, not out in the countryside). Must be all the slugs bringing
them out.

They must be like lambs to slaughter now, and starving after a very
very
long spell in hibernation. I wonder if there will be any hoglets this
year.

Baz

Hogs have been out here for some time feasting on slugs. I have seen
two at a time but from the droppings I think there are three or four.
They follow the same paths around the garden each night and always
seem to poop most in the same place, close to my un-nibbled hostas, so
I'm guessing that the slugs are aiming for them but the hogs are
intelligent and are lying in wait.

I have also found frogs under the hostas in the daytime.

No badgers round you, presumably? We haven't seen a hedgehog in this
garden for a long, long time. And more's the pity!

Neither have we, I don't understand where they have all gone.

I have seen five or six dead badgers in the road this last few weeks.
