Ive seen the one about the squirrels crawling upside down along a washing line but I'm hoping that mine haven mastered the art. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1FAriQDVsiw
It's not going to work😕. The mechanism depends on the free movement of the outer sleeve. I tried attaching it to the inner sleve, but that restricts it too. I 'd need a 3rd sleeve.
Does anybody know anything about the long-term memory of your average woodpigeon? How long before they forget about it and I can put it back?
I'm finding it difficult to admire anything about them but how nice their feathers look scattered across the lawn when a fox gets one😠 @Fairygirl. I've just realised you were talking about squirrels. Ditto but without the feathers😠
Well I lost count of the weevils tonight but I wouldn't be lying if I said it was close to 40 Imagine if every one of these has already laid even half of its 1500 eggs! I left a small pile or corpses on a rock and came back 10 mins later to a feeding frenzy of scavengers. Millipedes, granny granshers, harvestmen, ground beetles and loads of slugs all having a munch. I'd take a pic but it's a bit gross I also found another elephant moth caterpillar, in brown this time and much larger.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
@Fairygirl i blame it on my age and the sauvignon blanc . What's your excuse?
I have none..... Oh - my dodgy knees? Would that count?
@wild edges - the two extremes of our gardens eh? That beautiful caterpillar to become a beautiful moth, but those r***y weevils.... Pity the corpse munchers don't seek and destroy while they're alive, isn't it?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Perhaps we could encourage them to develop a taste for them 💡

We have one here who regularly climbs the house wall and gives my youngest a fright, 'cos he keeps looking in the window at her
