Oh what naughty blackbirds!

Are other grapes having their mulches dug up and thrown about by hungry blackbirds at the moment. I should be cross, but haven't the heart. I wondered what was making huge holes all over my raised beds (dog, cat?) until I caught them at it.

Hee hee, we have blackbirds in the garden that are gathering the moss out of the lawn for their nests.....way t'go birdies!

I once had an open compost heap (ok, a dump!) and caught a blackbird tossing out the tea-bags so it could get to the fruit peel and cores!

[Protea]

Ah ha! i wonder if thats the culprit who has been digging the compost in my garlic buckets and strawberry trough! found the evidence this morning and was quite confused!

Yes, the blackies howk in everything and toss it all over the place - including seed trays if you leave them outside uncovered.

We've got blackie chicks out of the nest, I saw them today.

It will be the blackies, Protea.

I was at the lottie this week and while I've been digging/hoeing a male backbird has been following me. I thought it was a juvenile as his feathers were white in places and looked a bit rough, but I saw him today with a mouthful of worms flying off, obviously feeding babies.
