Re: Lawn - have the birds done this?
What about hedgehogs ? My front drive has been scratched at for a couple of years and I couldn't make it out. Small stones would be dug up or dislodged overnight . It stopped last autumn and beginning of winter, but has started again this last week. I know it is on 'hedgehog street' as they come up and under the side gate into the back garden. So, I'm assuming it is the hedgehogs looking for bugs and grubs under the stones. I do put food out for them at certain times if it's dry in the summer and the ground is hard, or later in the year when they need feeding up for hibernation, but have not put any out yet.Re: Lawn - have the birds done this?
I think mart is right Pesta, it's the birds, or more specifically the Blackbirds. My back lawn has been savaged and all the moss pulled to the surface and left around in big lumps.Re: Lawn - have the birds done this?
This time of year the grubs of chafer beetles become active just below the surface and many birds and small mammals dig and scratch around for them. I have seen lawns completely destroyed particularly in sandty soil areas when there have been many beetles the year before. Luckily around here there were very few beetles last year so no lawn damage this spring.Re: Lawn - have the birds done this?
