Stop That Pigeon! by jamibann

Stop That Pigeon!

Eating all our cherries! Because of this chap and his friends, we had to pick lots of cherries at the weekend. So today, I'm stewing them, making jam, making crumble and freezing some. Busy times!
Great shot ... but not so great on the cherry crop... the preserves sound great ...

The birds love the berries just as much as we do! Sounds like you have been very busy and productive.

How wonderful to have your very own cherry tree Issi. I hope Mr. Pigeon does not visit for long.

We ended up putting a fruit cage around out fruit trees, the wood pigeons from adjacent farmland left us with no fruit year on year!

What a lovely colour those cherries have. Hope you have not lost to many fruits.

Yes, Bird, you are NOT welcome. We have the same problem with birds and our apricot trees.

Nice capture, they look about the same as what we used to have when our cherry tree was alive we had to fight the blackbirds for the fruit!! In the end we came to a compromise, I would pick all I could reach and they had the ones at the top!!

Hard to beat them sometimes! Can see why - they look awfully tempting.

Nice shot of the pigeon caught red handed, er, full beaked.

@novab Mr Pigeon and his friends are having fun ... they are hard to compete against!

@judithdeacon Yep - you have to be quick to get there before them, and they scoff them whole, as you can see!

@craftymeg Yes, I don't mind sharing, as there is a limit as to what I can do with the cherries - I can't eat them raw, as I'm allergic, so have to cook, cook, cook!

@gaylewood It is! With vanilla ice cream. The jam's pretty tasty too! Six jars made yesterday. Froze lots too, just lightly cooked. I can make jam later in the year with those, or crumble or pie or ... :-)
