The message
from "NikV" contains these words: The starlings are doing you a favour and ridding you of leatherjackets and their pupae. They munch on grass roots. They're daddy-long-legs / crane flies. Mayflies hatch from water: aka caddis fly, the grubs make a protective jacket of débris and carry it about. May be of grass, reed, and twig detritus, or small pebbles and bits of shell. Cheers thanx for the replies. Got my three year old putting a pinch of grass seed and filling with sand from sand pit - there are hundreds/thousands of holes - trouble is hes a bit heavy handed and I came home to find a lawn dotted with piles of sand (and some seed) LOL Why the synchronised emergence??? Did not see any this morning at all Could it be that the starlings were doing the 'emerging'? -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
