Picked more strawberries and MT.
It's squirrels that make holes in our cage, mainly in the roof. This time I've blown up some balloons and Chris has drawn faces on them. I've stuck these in the holes hoping they may be a deterrence or at least prevent the blackbirds following through for the red currants that are ripening now, 6 balloons so far.
I like the idea of a squirrel nipping a balloon and it going bang in its face. Not that bangs deter our squirrels. Not sure any drawing of a face I could do would scare anything away.
