Wildlife problems - The battle continues...

Regular readers will know of our continuing battle with the taupes (moles)! Recently they have started making a right mess, digging under Elizabeth's prize roses and flower beds and under my pumpkins...

So it was out with the traps and with great success... These two have dug their last...

Our other problem is woody woodpecker who was spotted again this morning sampling the eating cherries... (Now there's something we didn't realise) With our hazelnut tree fully loaded with nuts, many of which are reaching a size where last year woody woodpecker was helping himself, it was time to create the scarecrow...

What we needed was something tall and scary...

We think this will do the trick...
