HI everyone. Compliments of the season to you all. This might seem like a age old question. But I really do not do well with timing on spotting critters. Yes, I do get them. But not necessarily by planning. There are gardens that will allow a critter to be spotted on certain food (organic or super or regular) at the right time frame, and I am there and ... poof. Nothing... Is there a method I am missing? x

That link explains wildlife timing quite well. There's no set time you are guaranteed to spot something, unless you arrive at the very end of the feeding window when something has to be there due to the maximum gap possible. If you sprinkle in a garden and don't stop something that is because there's nothing there to spot.

FairyRing can help as it gives a visual percentage chance of wildlife visiting for each plate, so gives a good idea of the likelihood of there being wildlife there, without having to click on each plate and check the feedings.
