I don't leave bird food out now (except hanging nuts) as there was a rat in our back garden last year. DS told me to look at the mouse, I thought he meant on TV. He said, 'no, in the garden'. I looked out and there was a rat frolicking quite happily up and down the garden.
I have also seen one in my parents garden. Apparently decking is a great environment for rats to live under. We have a large deck. I am worried about putting food out incase it attracts them.
