Here, the magpies clean the moss out of my gutters, presumably looking for insects of something - this saves me a job 🙂
make my night rides more entertaining?
count last night was 2 foxes, 3 badgers, an owl of some kind and a rat!
Almost hit a bat last night on the bike. With my face.
Make tasty burgers.
Taste nice.
*Edit - Damn you, Bear! Beat me to it.

Generally speaking, exist
I imagine there'd be a lot more annoying flies around if it wasn't for birds/spiders etc. eating them.
Hedgehogs eat slugs.
Worms aerate the lawn.
I thank them all personally on a daily basis.
Eat flies.
Edit* - stumpy synched my thoughts, need another, er, am grateful for the humility, wisdom and kindness they can bring out in the best of us. Unfortunately this is countered by the worst of us.
Cows are good too....

I really need to brush up on types of wildlife. There seems to me 2 types of bat in this country, at least the ones I meet along the way. There are the little ones and there are the big fat fatty ones, when one of them nearly gets you in the face you know about it. I had one hit me on the chest once and many close encounters near my face.
Elephants for donating their delicious legs....

Werewolves.*
They make my solo night rides faster.

I auto-replied "Awooooo" and thought about tidying my hair up a bit and going out for a nice tropical drink in the West End. Is that OK?
Binners, I am now hungry! There's a 'babber just down the road as well....
exist.
Bees make tasty honey for my porridge 🙂
Just how wild are we talking?
Do we want wolves back? Just been to a place that's quite fond of wolves in Devon - www.wildlifedinosaurpark.co.uk/
Remind us that we're not as high and mighty as we think we are.

Peter Andre has fallen on hard times.
Get busy on TV. Before the watershed.
Apart from the cooked tomato (just wrong) and spider's leg on the egg, that is picture perfection.

Bees fro pollinating stuff, including all the veg that ends up on oyur plate.
Looks like it was cooked in a scabby frying pan, plus nae square sausage, tattie scones(I'd accept soda breed) or fried dumplin. 3/10!bearnecessities - Member

There are 17 species of bats that breed in the UK. I have 13 varieties recorded on the farm here.
Bestest wild animals?
Bees.. no bees. No plants. No life. Simple
Earthworms... no worms, no soil, no life. Simple
and Spiders, just 'cause they are cute and they eat all the nasty insects in your house and ask for nothing in return other than a leg up when they get stuck in the bath.
I once had an operation to remove a mole from my penis... 😆

Deer trails all over the Highlands.
Just being there when I'm out in the countryside. Or even at home, watching the local sparrow flock squabbling about stuff, and the goldfinches swarming all over the feeders is great.
But sitting watching kestrels hovering, and a pair of them giving a buzzard a really hard time at Avebury recently, watching Ravens doing aerobatics just for the joy of it, sitting outside the pub on a summers evening, watching the swifts tearing around chasing each other, and being able to hear the fluttering sound their wings make as the fly past is just fabulous.
And seeing something like this in late October:

Keep the rif-raff away. 😉
Just how wild are we talking?
Surprising us with their perception and intelligence. I mean, who can fail to be moved by an elephant mourning over a dead relative, or the idea that a hippopotamus would come to the rescue of a gazelle?
Honestly, I am starting to think that all creatures are far more sentient that we have assumed through time.
I mean, I am even amazed by the slugs on my kitchen floor after the lights go out. Seriously.
Sorry, I meant impala; not gazelle.
Pollinators. without them life would be much shorter and less tasty.
Shit in the woods.
