You might be able to get the thing started using ch ... |

| Have seen quite a lot of deer over the last couple of days. In our own woodland complex we have seen a group of 5 roe deer, which is more than we usually see in the woods together, although more have ... |

| Having them battery powered, with interchangeable batteries would certainly make them quieter, but need to have sound so they don't sneak up on people. |

The ones at the shops might be there for rubbish, although on the whole this isn't a particularly dirty area. Think they mainly come for the pickings from the fields as this is semi-rural.

| We get some starlings, but not as many as we used to. I do sometimes hear a bush twittering as I pass, so must be full of hedge sparrows, and do sometimes see them. We get gulls and rooks, mainly in t ... |

| Only wildlife of sorts, but went up to the woods for the first time since the storms yesterday as husband and son have mainly been doing firewood, and I have had things to do at home. Went for a walk ... |

| If wild garlic doesn't survive, I suspect it is because the ground is unsuitable. It grows best in dense coppice in our wood and is only knocked back when we cut the coppice and let the light in. This ... |

| Would you like me to send you some wild garlic instead. Get rid of the three cornered leek and put that in instead. It seems to cope with wet and dry but doesn't like direct sunlight. |

| Nice find, but it is classified as an invasive species, so don't let it get out or out of control. Hope the mice like the smell. |
