The fearsome army of rodents have been bolstering their ranks since lockdown, when they started invading homes, gardens and basements to find places to nest. Pest controllers have recorded rats getting larger and members of the public have reported sightings of giant specimens up and down the UK. Fast-food waste and calorie-laden foods have been blamed for fuelling the rise in the rodent size and population. During the early days of the coronavirus lockdown more than half of UK pest controllers reported an increase in rodent activity as the populations of rats moved from deserted city centres to people's homes and gardens in search of food. This is definitely on the cards, I read a book about it some time ago by a fella called Herbert. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pigeon, a young one, has taken up loitering in m' yard. Presumably because there are bird feeders and seeds fall from them onto the ground when the other birds feed. But the bloody thing sits in the trough where the carrots are growing and crushes all the leaves down, It's too stupid/fearless to fly away and isn't that skilled at flying, either yet. I don't want to hurt it, but I also don't want to have it scoff all m'veg shoots. I think I need to get me an eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
