    Thanks again Spruce, will do that. Though, the rats around here are pretty bold and will quite happily scale the birdfeeders dotted round the garden, have a feed and then make their way over the hedge to the field next door.

          Whenever we have a pizza takeaway we always throw the uneaten free garlic bread in the back garden for the birds but always wondered what was eating it so quickly by the morning.

          Well I found out last night...

                    No harm to anyone then? I was always told not to pick them up because of the fleas.
