You said squirrel like and at a guess they are the culprits. Seems a very sensible thing to do-if you re a squirrel A plastic container? I suppose it's possible but if Lez has seen foxes they're most likely. In thinking of dogs I must be influenced by ours who have been known to raid staff rucksacks if they're carelessly left within reach! ;-) I found a plastic cup neatly packed with horse chestnuts buried near a freshly planted tree a few years ago. Us northern squirrels is reet cleva.:-) Bah gum, lad.... I'm impressed! I would have thought genuinely wild animals would eschew plastic (there's a joke or pun in there somewhere) and I am - genuinely - amazed to read this. I'm quite pleased too, for some reason! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) Perhaps it's something to do with keeping your nuts dry. I couldn't possibly comment. I assume the nice dry plastic cup stops them germinating. I do not know if it's just the Northern birds that do it but most nests seem to contain plastic, particularly the stuff from round cig packets, polystyrene cups and that nasty light green synthetic garden twine. . You'd think there'd be some scent from all this stuff that would put them off. But now that I think of it, all the birds take little ribbony torn bits off the Mypex here so it has to be a rather nice from of cohabitation. ;-) And speaking of which, may I suggest that everyone puts the combings from their hairbrushes out the window for the birds to pick up and use just as they would e.g. sheep wool from barbed wire fences. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |
