Thanks for getting in touch I have also put your idea my forum which I'm getting back to after not being able to do anything much with it.

Isn’t it strange that birds seem to know when food is about – like the seagulls trying to steal from the crow.

Thanks for getting in touch

I have also put your idea my forum which I’m getting back to after not being able to do anything much with it.

I have hidden some RSPB Sprinkles under the fallen leaves in the hope that the blackbirds will find them and the woodpigeons won't! Probably won't work but worth a try. I put out a whole fat ball on the ground. The blackbird was having a wonderful feast until a carrion crow swooped down and took off with the whole ball in it's mouth! I was furious! Mind you, it was funny watching it trying to keep it from all the seagulls which suddenly appeared! Hi Trish!
