Apart from *netting more and more,has anyone found a successful way to
keep them away?

I've got a bird scarer that looks like a pair of eyes watching them. It
turns round in the wind and light flashes and reflects off it too, and
it definitely keeps the birds away. The best and cheapest solution I've
found to keep them away anyway. This is what it looks like:

'Rotating Bird Scarer - Wind Powered £9.49'

To be honest, the eyes even spook me a little bit!
