My original pigeon deterrent with holly and sticks lasted less than 24hours!!  No surprise there. So I have resurrected my old bird table and hung in on the bird feeding station, nicely wrapped in green wire....and it's a success. It's been there for three days, the pigeons are hopping up and down the fence and on the grass in frustration as they cannot get on it ... They are welcome to ground feed, but not greedily consume everything on the table
I went with B to a local art exhibition at the parish church this morning, some very talented artists. A cuppa and chat, and then the supermarket ...a nice day, cold to start with but bright and sunny.
