    I can almost hear the birds around you waiting for you to leave the scene so that they can reach this snack. Posted 11 years ago

    Birds didn't get a chance. I turned the clump of soil over and let them get on with their thing. I'd much rather have worms in my vegetable allotment than birds eating my seedlings. http://martin-way-plot30.blogspot.co.uk Posted 11 years ago

The Common Earthworm

"Lumbricus terrestris" is a large, reddish worm species native to Europe, but now also widely distributed elsewhere around the world due to human introductions. In some areas where it has been introduced, some people consider it to be a serious pest species since it is outcompeting native worms.
