Same night a #fox visits. They find the few pellets of food I have put out for them on the lid of the hedgehog food plastic box. I only put a little bit of food out because I don't want to feed the army of local felines. How can I feed the fox but not the cats? #ipswich #suffolk #uk

The #hedgehogs are now visiting regularly and I am excited every morning to see if they have visited. Food is put in the plastic box to keep it away from cats

We are facing a brutal few months if the past few days are an indication. I can only bring a few litres of water to the gardens each week. #ipswich #suffolk #uk #guerrillagardening #popupgarden

The biggest irony of this is every street in that particular area of #Ipswich is named after a #bird (except #pigeons - maybe they are jealous at being left out 😁 )

(it seems that the Council had solar panels installed but didn't put anti-pigeon guarding around them, and the #birds have nested below these panels)

Ipswich flat residents unimpressed with pigeon mess clean-up

A council says it is finding "long-term solutions to resolve the issue" of birds gathering at flats.
