Can I ask any cat owners to please make sure their cat/s have a collar with a bell on? This might give the birds half a chance to get away. Sad to see a blue tit fledgling from the nest in our garden fall prey to a cat's fun and games in the first few days of its life.
We have the same problem, there are 2 nests at the end of the garden and local cats keep waiting for the birds to they can kill them. I have watered the cats a few times when watering the garden but they keep coming back.
ReplyDeleteI suppose a big rat trap may work to keep the cats out?
They used to use our garden as a toilet.
ReplyDeleteI now have a super soaker water pistol, they dont like it up em.
I tried the super water gun, but with either detergeant in it or liquid fertilizer. Have now resorted to high frequency sound blasters, which seem to work.
