Good grief The bird feeders all hang from a pear tree in the centre of my tiny lawn; there are finches of all kinds (except bullfinches), and great and blue tits, sparrows etc. Will the snake try to get at them?
No artjak, don't think they'll go up the tree after adult birds, but they do eat eggs and nestlings. Where you are, I would imagine the main diet is amphibians.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
artjak, a snake and robins hatching you are being greedy I'd be very happy to give a home to the snake, since we can't disturb the robins.
The snake is just to frighten OH with. Any noise or movement in the undergrowth on foreign hols and he heads for the hills. Also scared of crocs ( not shoes) & gaitors but we don't see many in S.Yorks.

I suppose they must be here being so remote, but if I saw one in my borders I woudnt be in there till it all died down in the winter.
