Was walking around a pond last year and right in front of me a wasp attacked a dragon fly and they fought to the death on the floor. I had a spider in my ferret shed,I used to catch flies in the house,then go and feed my new pet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 24,875 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Heard a buzzing on my gravel path one day look down and saw a fly that looked a bit like a flying ant dragging a spider bigger than its self. It was really struggling and the spider looked dead , I watched while it dragged about a meter then lost sight of it as it went into the border. Looked it up and its some kind of wasp that actually attacks a spider stings it that paralyses the spider then drags it to a burrow its already made, puts it down the hole then lays an egg on it, food for its young.

My step dad managed to get a fox tame enough years ago that it would just hang about the garden in broad daylight and come right up looking to be fed any food scraps we had kept. Healthy looking fox. My daughter's neighbours used to feed foxes and it was not uncommon for as many as 4....6 to be sat up at the end of the garden waiting for the dinner bell call. They used to lay out on my daughters lawn in the Sun like domestic dogs would. The daughter had to have a bit of a stiff word with the neighbours because the garden was getting a dumping ground for big bones ect. When the daughter's family were eating in the dining room the foxes would come to the patio doors and just stand there waiting to be fed !! the foxes had gotten used to being Fed by the neighbours. My sister was another Fox feeder. She had a Fox earth in her garden and she got them to feed slices of bread from her hand. The interesting thing was that a Fox would be in residence for some time and then leave and another Fox would take up residence. She thought that the resident Fox had gotten run over or something but about 18 months after a Fox had disappeared it turned up again. She had a fish pond and a grass snake started to take the fish so she caught it in a net and took it to a stream two fields away. The next day it was back. She thought that it looked like the same snake so she splogged a dot of nail varnish on its head and took it back over the fields to the stream. Next day the blighter was back so this time she caught it up and took it about five miles away. It didn't return this time. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weybridge cemetary used to have a fox problem,surrey council even put notices up asking people not to feed the foxes as they were approaching people,i saw 4 or 5 sitting out near the benches down by the jewish section,thats where the old ladies used to feed them,often used to see roe deer in there grazing in between the stones.I saw the fallow at harold hill once.
