grubs
"Sacha" wrote in message . uk... Sue da Nimm27/2/04 4:59 snip We've got three pairs sharing our plot which is about 320ft long by 120ft wide, with a hedge border and a copse beyond. They have clearly defined territories, with one pair regularly coming to the kitchen windowsill for tidbits. The male in the "copse-end" pair is very distinctive because he is mottled white. (Melanistic?) We have seen three together on occasions - probably offspring rather than pairs mingling. We have several in different parts of the Nursery and garden - you can see them together but apart, as it were. But the blackbirds! They're as bad or worse than robins. One gets inside a glasshouse and one is outside and they go at each other hammer and tongs against the glass. The other day, I saw two trying to kill each other, I swear and I clapped my hands so that both flew off, overturning a 1l. pot of Euphorbia as they went. Those critters are vicious and we have a lot of them! My male blackbird follows me into the garage (where I keep my birdseed) every time I open the door. He now eats sunflower seeds from my hand.
