Is this in response to the frosts we've been experiencing?

David Mitchell. 2m bsl. Minor hill top. Tunnelshire.

Same here. B***dy things are making a huge mess of my met enclosure.
The yhave a 5 acre field to play in and they have to dig up my
enclosure!

OT sure, but if anyone knows a foolproof (preferably fairly humane)
way of discouraging the blighters let me know please ... I bought a
solar-powered mole scarer a couple of years back, that seemed to do

Grrr!!

My Dad used to get lots of badgers digging up his garden. He pinned a wire
mesh down over the lawn. Within a few months the mesh was invisible and it
is impenetrable by the badgers.
