Who’s eating my seedlings

5 May 2017 In Uncategorised

Mid march I planted a few trays of wild flowers to start to put some diversity back into the wood, especially for the butterflies.

With all the cold weather they where struggling a bit and the other day I noticed something had been nibbling them, a bit early I thought for insects as i had not seen any aphids or such like so I thought I would put out my traps and see who else was lurching in the poly tunnel after dark.

Well 1 Bank vole and 3 wood mice where arrested, charged with reckless munching of said seedlings and then photographed.

Here are few mugshots if you recognise any stay back as they are dangerous to plants and can strike at any time.
