I have two long trough like things that I carefully planted up with much

chucked on the ground, grrrrr blackbird or jackdaws, we have a fair number
of both. Now I have to think of something else cheap and cheerful to fill
the troughs, One of my family suggested putting twigs in between the new
plants or plastic windmills !


If it were squirrels doing this, some people would soon be posting advice on
shooting/trapping/cooking them, but hopefully we'll be spared that in
respect of blackbirds :-)


Of course you need four and twenty for a decent pie!


Only if you are a queen.


I prefer jam tarts anyway!
