Hello all. I live in Caernarfon, North Wales.
Need to empty kitchen scraps into compost dalek but there are a family of thrushes out in my garden - don't want to scare the currant/gooseberry thieves off - or do I? |

Hi Goosegogs, welcome to WAB. A family of thrushes! Well, around here they are quite a rarity! When I was a kid I used to see them regularly, but not anymore unfortunately. So I wouldn't mind sharing my berries with them! |

Hi Goosegogs,
Welcome to WAB! I like your name, brings back childhood memories! As does your reference to thrushes - when I was a child there was always one in the garden, now a sighting of a thrush is a rare event!
Enjoy the site!

Hi Goosegogs and welcome to you and you thrush family, I hope they leave you enough fruit for a crumble or two! Enjoy WAB and we'd love to see any photo's you have of the current and gooseberry thieves  . |

Shall post pics for id! |

Judging from the responses in the bird forum, I have a family of blackbirds stealing my soft fruit, not thrushes (which I could do with as I have a mollusc problem - better get the beer out!). |
