Talkback: Snails and song thrushes in the garden

Talkback: Cats and foxes

snails
it on Radio 2 I am trying cheap oats. I had some already and it's worth a punt. I hate using blue pellets but have bought some to my shame. It takes a while to encourage birds, hedgehogs and other predators into a new garden and I can't crush them, yuck! Snail by MOLLY4

Talkback: Native versus non-native plants
