Pipped at the post again.......


On Friday this tree was full of cherries still quite white and unripe, today (Sunday) it's only half full of ripe and partly ripe cherries all out of my reach.

The rest you may be able to make out are now just pips on the ground and I sat for a while watching starlings, blackbirds, a jay and a magpie all noisily taking turns to help themselves!

Ooh it must have been fun to watch the birds feasting! If a huge tree sized net isn't available I guess next year you have to have the same experience again or put bird scarers in the tree as the fruit is just about to ripen.

Actually I really don't mind sharing and yes great fun especially with the Jay and Magpie "debating" territorial rights. Next day O climbed right up into the tree and picked loads so we've all had :)
