Default re blackbirds and mulch

Does anyone have any good tips for persuading blackbirds not to throw bark
mulch over the lawn when foraging in the borders?
With a large garden and a lot of formal beds, the benefits of weed
supression are being offset by the time needed to clear up each day.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.


The do this with compost mulch and leaves too. It seems to be
inevitable. Next door's cats don't seem to put them off and
neither does my presence in the garden, so I just enjoy standing
and watching the cheeky blighters.
