Wildlife while planting beans

Glad the gardening is going well, even with the help of the snail. Perhaps he is attracted to the smell of the new pellets you are using. Also I expect him and all his mates are grateful for the recent rain after all that hot weather!

I've seen hardly any snails so far this year

I've had a few, but they suddenly find they have to cross the road to get back to my garden

I hadn't seen many, but it had been very dry and hot for weeks, now I haven't seen them but half of my newly planted petunia's disappeared last Friday night.. Grrr..,, To add insult to injury my beans have been uprooted many times and most of them eaten, the culprits were the pigeons and magpies, now that was a surprise , if I hadn't actually seen the beggars I would have blamed it all on the pigeons, I used a net but they still managed to get underneath, I have given up on them....

I haven’t had many, it did spot a couple of slugs and snails after the heavy downpours last week...especially climbing up my sunflowers and they’d had a nibble at an Achillea and demolished some poppies I’d planted out...

a little bit of slug damage here too. to add insult we watched one of hedgehogs sniff a slug ignore it and eat the food we'd put out for them: fussy blighter. The slug then proceeded to eat the hedgehog food whilst 'sliming' next to the hog. We couldn't believe what we were seeing but we do have a photo/video of it.
