We have had ten evenings of non-stop fireworks, ranging from the very pretty to the downright terrifying.
I am not a spoilsport and used to enjoy a family bonfire party which we held on November 5.
I have friends with animals who are beside themselves not knowing how to console their pets.
Those animals are safe indoors but what about all the wildlife that cannot get away (and the noise and pollution)?
I am sure many have died from fright. Could the decline in the numbers of our wild birds have anything to do with this annual invasion on their habitat?
