Re: Avian Visitors
David,
When we re-sowed a patch, we threw down twice the recommended seed per sq metre.
That way, no matter how much seed the birds hogged down, there was enough left to sprout.
As far as making the pigeons flock off, in his younger days, our Lab, Paddy, used to think it was a great game to charge through the middle of a flock grazing in the park, even doubling back to put the lazy ones up in the air.
He’s a bit past that now, at 14½ ... so we have to rely on the neighbour’s cat.
Know anyone who would be willing to lend you their cat for Christmas?

This year’s baby has just had a lesson from mum Maggie on using the birdbath...
Meanwhile our Wren family were playing under our sprinkler hose...
... after the senior male left a souvenir in the birdbath:

Re: Avian Visitors
Maybe you are right Bob. I reckon that the fruit phone needs to be Landscape, button to the rhs, at least that's how all our ipads used to be, back when I had to operate the old fruit system. I shouldn't tell Ray to lie down, he might start sipping red while he is down there and stay for a while
