Seige Conditions

Heavens above! Never mind SOFWLUTR being under seige - So are We:

Bunnies continue their inexorable march towards Our veggies. He is talking about getting wire netting. At the rate they are eating things He needs to go buy it or t'will be too late.

Early this morning We were inundated with Fredettes. Counted 11 of them in My garden, all pecking for seed and grubbing around in the lawn. (Is always amazed at How Much Mess is generated by a couple of those birds, never mind 11.)

Several noisy squabbles broke out after the blackbirds decided the red berries were ripe. One had more sense though - Waited underneath on the ground for the berries to get knocked off. Ended up peacefully eating twice as many as anyone else.

And the squirrels have given up waiting for the netting to lift in SOF's front garden and have migrated to the back. Can't be any too pleasant for her as they hurl themselves from the tree in the lane opposite and land on her roof. Usually have to scrabble desperately to get a footing and reach the top. Then they run a little way along it and hurl themselves into one of her apple trees. Kamikaze idiots.
