    Rodent problem

    Thanks David for that very informative reply. I had decided to use an humane trap anyway and release the rodent a distance away in the wild. However it has not returned as far as I know and I have removed the fat ball feeder which seemed to be it's favourite food. If we do see it return I shall...

    Rodent problem

    Hi there and thanks for your reply (and Andys above) What's the best bait to use to bias it towards rodents instead of birds?

    Rodent problem

    I have a problem which I hope someone will be able solve. I have a visiting rat in the garden which has taken a fancy to the seed which ends up on the ground.

    In 2019 I had a leucistic House Sparrow in the back garden. Today I had two Leucistic Starlings! Anybody else seen any around? I'm situated in Stonehaven.

    Garden Birds

    On a fairly mundane note..... I've noticed over the last few weeks a severe drop off in the number of birds visiting the feeding options in my garden. The bird table and seed feeder down the end in the 'wild' part of my garden has been deserted and the other feeders recording only a few visitors...

    Waxwings

    Had about 6 Waxwings in my garden in Stonehaven yesterday and saw one across the road in a tree. Unfortunately wasn't quick enough to photograh them. Any other sightings around?

    Not long been back from a place called Dalnavert just south of Aviemore. Beautiful Lochs all around (Garten, Insch, Eilein, Alvie , Morlich) - didn't see any Pine Martins, but wildlife galore. Red Squirrels and Badgers as well. I'll post some pics.
