Noticed the other week that blue tits were stealing the ends of the garden
twine used to tie up the olive trees to canes.

Today we realised that all the free ends had been gathered and they were
starting on the knots.

So we have tied some sacrificial bits of string near the important bits in
the hope that they'll take those instead.

I can't remember string disappearing in previous years.

Nesting material.Over the last 2 or 3 years I have watched tits and
other small birds pulling fibres from my kanging basket liners.
