Re: atracting animals to the garden

Hi, different foods will attract different animalsand animal species, fat balls (half coconuts filled with lard and seed etc hung in trees) will attract many birds such as Tits and starlings, saucers of cat food and digestive biscuit bits will attract hedge hogs and foxes, pots of meal worms robins etc, try different foods and watch what feeds from them, also make a track trap, a shallow tray ( a square of ply or MDF with quadrent tacked around the edge) of play sand moistened and brushed flat nad placed in your garden with bits of food in the middle try a different food each night and see what tracks are there in the morning this is a very exciting way to see what secrets your garden holds whille all are tucked up in their beds..
