The great tit, blue tit, blackbird, nuthatch, longtail, dunnock, chaffinch, bullfinch, barn owl, blackcap, robin, coal tit, collared dove, woodpecker, green finch, siskin, wagtail, kites and buzzards, swift, sparrow hawk, house martin and wrens in my back garden don't deserve to be nailed to anything, the pidgeons, crows, rooks, magpies and the odd Jay are a different matter however. Wood mice, poor little things, don't know what hits them when the trap closes, at least they go quickly. Last time I had rats they were dealt with swiftly also, It's the hassle of living in rural England, too much beauty, too much wildlife, you can become complacent, not happened to me yet, glad I'm not a city dweller.
