Hi Trevor It's a huge problem. 100 years after the first settlement of Europeans around here, that great bird observer Barbara Salter suggested that Blackbirds were the main cause of the disappearance of orchids. Blackbirds turn over soil at a huge rate per annum (I know the figure is out there but haven't found it). Solutions? Cats, dogs... It depends on what you want to keep and what you do not mind being hurt. It's been like that for 150 years. Michael Norris |
