Do you have any recommendations for netting that isn't quite as expensive as that, that would be ok around larger bushes like black currants etc? I will need fruit cages at some point up there, because this is the second year in a row that most of the currants have gone to fatten up the birds.

I dont have to net my black currants as the birds dont seem to bother with them. They do ransacking my red currants though. So I net two of my three red currants and leave one for the birds, they take most off it but leave my blacks alone and I move the nets from the reds on to my gooseberries as they develop later and aren't bothered by birds until after the red currants are harvested. 
You could always try planting some sacrificial red currant bushes or similar to save you some time and expense netting and with cages.
