Doreen Kings 'In Your Garden' series are without a doubt the best books for you and your garden wildlife. The Red Fox is one of the largest wild carnivores in Britain, and reactions to it range from fear and hatred of an efficient killer to admiration for a beautiful, resourceful survivor. In this book, Dr Doreen King invites us to take a look at its eating habits, family life, and the advantages and disadvantages of living alongside humans. She tells us of its place in folklore and its long history as hunter and hunted, explaining its movement form the countryside to the town, so that now it can even be found scavenging on rubbish tips in city centres. She also advises how we can protect our livestock form the suburban fox and when and how we can help a fox that seems to be in trouble - and, most importantly of all, when we should leave it alone! Doreen King won the first British Technology Group Prize for Research in 1984 and is a member of the Institute of Environmental Science and a Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Science. She has been involved in conservation and rescue work for most of her life and runs a wildlife sanctuary at her home in Essex. TPS TOP TIP: AN ABSOLUTE MUST!

Aqua-Hydrotechs award winning Tadpole food is a vegetable based food for tadpoles in the early stages of development. Native species of frogs and toads are an important part of our eco-system but, like many other forms of wildlife, they are beginning to struggle to survive due to man made problems and the changing environmental conditions. Lack of food in the early stages of a tadpole's growth will greatly reduce its chances of reaching maturity, so providing a helping hand with some specially formulated food will help to keep the amphibian population in your pond and garden healthy. TPS TOP TIP: If you are lucky enough to already have frogs and toads in your garden, avoid the use of slug pellets as these can in turn poison your frogs and toads when they ingest the slug. Instead try planting the 'Hosta' plant near your pond this is a firm favourite with slugs and will give your baby and adult frogs and toads (not tadpoles) a good source of food. |

Attractive two colour design. Excellent build quality, no assembely required. FSC certified timber. The felling of dead, old and hollow trees where bats normally roost in the wild, has reduced the availability of suitable sites . Bat boxes provide artificial roosts and are important for conservation and research. Eleven bat species have roosted in bat boxes. Six species (pipistrelle, noctule, Leisler's, Natterer's, Daubenton's, and brown long-eared bats) have bred in them. Bat boxes are also used widely as mating roosts. Site in areas where bats are known to feed. Place boxes as high as possible in sheltered and wind-free areas exposed to the sun for part of the day, up to three boxes per tree. An area around the box needs to be cleared to allow bats direct and easy access to the box entrance. Woodland rides and glades are ideal, particularly if close to a marsh, pond or river. |
