                • 1.2kg of blackcurrants, which is just a small fraction of the total.
                  Looks like I'm in for a bumper crop of them this year, which helps to make up for the gooseberries, which have now all disappeared. I had thought it was a badger originally (especially as I found badger hairs and signs of trampling), but even the high up fruit have gone now, and with no sign of the branches having been broken to get to them, so I don't think the badger is to blame, after all (at least not entirely). I'm thinking probably birds. I'll have to net next year.

                  Also, I gathered in a dozen windfall apricots. They're not quite ripe yet, so I'm ripening them indoors.

                  • Chives, gooseberries and some blackcurrants.
                    In our previous allotment we had a Jay which managed to pinch gooseberries and cherries even though they were netted.
                    Bumper year here too ameno for blackcurrants. ( I’m thinking blackcurrant vodka this year … not made any for a good few years)

                        I caught a blackbird in the act of stealing a blackcurrant while I was there yesterday, and I've caught them taking blueberries and strawberries in my back garden, so I'm thinking it's probably them. Although they never bothered with fruit before, so I think the dry weather must have started it. I hope it doesn't become a trend even in wetter periods...
                        Also, if I do net them it'll be with scaffold debris netting, so they won't be able to peck through the holes in that.
