In recent weeks, have taken to putting peanuts and dog biscuits out on our front lawn each night.
Hedgehogs are now coming every night to eat the peanuts and between 2am and 4am, we get one or two foxes coming for the dog biscuits.
Will try and get a photo, great to see foxes. We think it's a vixen and a cub rather than two adults.

We had a vixen and two cubs last year playing on the lawn it was so special .I feel gifted to see the wildlife in their own habitat .No fences just their property !
I tell my wife that she bought the house but the animals own it , we also have flying squirrels back again ,we can only guess because they are out at dusk .We used to have bats but they haven't been here for a few years now -maybe I moved something important to them by mistake.

Love spring in my backyard in New Zealand. Kowhai tree is flowering and I took this photo of a tui bird on the weekend.
Tui's are a New Zealand native bird (one of the very few that is not an endangered species) and are well-known for their songs and calls. They're easily identified by the white feathers around it's neck. Unusual to see one in the part of the country where I live as they're predominantly a north island bird, so was stoked to see one on the weekend.

I had no idea that foxes just roamed the streets of cities until the first time I was in London a few years ago. Got a picture of this guy walking back to my flat from the train station one night.
Also, here a couple pictures of some of the animals I’ve seen around my house.
Pretty good sized buck in my back yard.
A whole family of skunks crossing the street in broad daylight.
Just had a woodpecker, think a female Nuttall, feasting on our hummingbird feeder. Saw it out of the corner of my eye and was "wow, that is a HUGE hummingbird" lol

Lived in West Derby for just over a year. Throughout the summer I'd quite often see a hedgehog out the back if I went out there of a night. The pooch wasn't quite sure of it though.

Seeing a lot more buzzards about. Always reminded of this story when I see one.
Guy waits for hours and to catch a sight of a rare Grey Phalarope. Only to watch a buzzard take it out. lol
Not strictly wildlife or my garden... But I've been growing a load of oyster mushrooms in old coffee grounds and just had the first batch today with a full English.
Magnificent!

While that Buzzard was feeding on our garden table this morning, all the smaller birds - Robins, Blue and Great Tits, Blackbirds, Chaffinch, Bullfinch and Jays were feeding normally, they weren't spooked at all by the Buzzard being there. It was sat on the table for at least five minutes eating a load of chicken scraps we put out late last night.
If you keep putting out meat scraps, it`ll keep coming back ( if you want it too ).
They learn very quickly that there`s a reliable food source.
