We had Greater Spotted attacking a "***" box last year, holes in the side etc.
The residents were bumbles that were a PitA just outside a shed door and when we opened the door we'd have 100's of bumbles being a pain, we lived with it but the woody cured the problem.
We still had bumbles on flowers up to a few days ago so the nest 'woody'd' hasn't cut the numbers, sit back and watch nature sort itself out.
We've been here 19 yr's. and for 17 yr's we saw NO hedgehogs, but we did have a badger sett on our ground. I MUST add that we kept 'free range layers' and at NO time did we have a conflict between brock and our birds, they were closed up for the night before brock came out, he/they just dug under our fences to let the fox in by day. This year we've had h'hogs "bl***y" everywhere,
6 bab's on the lawn at once one evening.
Our old labrador just loved to roll in fox ****.
