Grass problems
 

Hello,

I've had this grass lawn for 30 years, and suddenly, I've a problem
with magpies and crows (mostly!) pecking up the grass in a particular
patch. Would it be moss that is attracting the birds, as there is a
bit in that area?

If anyone has had a similar problem and came up with a solution (short
of killing them!!), I'd appreciate any advice they have.

Thanks,

Shay

Leatherjackets and beetles.

Netting works, but messy with several birds stuck in it ;-)

Ant colonies? I've had a sudden plague of dead grass areas where
ants are proliferating.
