The Magpies and the Crows have been having something of a turf war
this evening. A lot of noise but not any beak to beak action.
Talking of which, the (abundent) Starlings have been busy aerating my
lawn. That means a bad year for Crane Flies.

Slug numbers are down this year but we seem to have an issue with
snails that want to climb. Unlike my Peas or Beans, both of which
seem to have Vertigo. That garden twine comes in handy to encourage
them.
