Title: Cheeky Birds-grrrrrrrrrrrr
Post by: gardenqueen on April 19, 2009, 19:04:05: Sparrows and blue tits have decided, this year, to use the coconut matting, lining my half baskets. for their nests. Why, this year I have no idea, unless of course the matting is now to their liking after a couple of years!
