| | | Time of the year
What an awful time of the year for wildlife, Fox hunting ( it's still going on! ) and fireworks, from what I've heard tonight they must be terrified. I went to feed the foxes tonight and in a quiet area of the countryside I thought I was in Iraq! Why can't people let the fireworks off in their gardens, why go up to the fields and woods to do it.  |

I don't complain too much about tonight. Afterall it is supposed to be the one night that is dedicated to it but it just seems every event is punctuated with fireworks now. You should try living in London or Birmingham or Leicester - every weekend for any occasion. |

The combination of Diwali & the run up to bonfire night creates mayhem, I'm all for people enjoying themselves but it gets just a bit O.T.T. round here at this time of year, it must have an effect on wildlife even at this distance!  |

I quite agree,my local rugby club let off fireworks a the drop of a hat although they are a mile away the sound travels so that it seems to be in my back garden,it went on till 4am once
REGULATE fireworks now give wildlife and everyone else some peace |

On the local radio someone mentioned that there was to be a 'pretty' fireworks display somewhere in the region- lots of coloured lights but NO BANGS. What a good idea!
Nowadays every fireawork seems to have to bang, but I don't recall it being like that when I was a boy

I was out last night and it reminded me of the guns over Sarajevo. A group of lads set off a 32 air bomb repeater with a huge bang every 1-2 seconds about 100m away, but by the 10th bang they were getting bored with it and walked away |
