| | | Who's eating my fruit?
I put out some grapes, a nectarine and some old plums and it's all gone. I know Muntjacs eat apples but we have no Parakeets here so what is eating the fruit?
Answers on a postcard to....

Could be anything from a woodmouse to a red deer from a robin to a raven. Can you give us more of an idea where it is? is it all eaten? any other signs? what habitat? |

We have 2 grape vines over a pergola on the patio, one black one white, and every year I go out to taste them, pull a face and spit out the sour grape. At the same time I'm eyeball to eyeball with blackbirds, starlings, magpies, even a pair of blackcaps - all of which devour every single grape before they ripen enough to be palatable to us mere humans. |

All on my lawn which is visited by magpies, blackbirds, muntjacs amongst others.
