newts and blackbirds
« on: March 19, 2010, 07:13:19 »
Blackbirds that have Chicks to feed, will take your Newts
i have watched this happen for many years.
Keep your Blackbirds well fed, they might just leave your Newts alone??

fine net round the side of the pond will keep the blackbirds from eating all of your frogs / newts tadpoles ;)
You couldn't make it up!
