Pecked

Pecked Fig.  Nikon D7000

4th September 2014

Despite our mass fig picking session, there are still many ripening.

The blackbirds however have taken to eating 1/3 of a fig, and then moving onto the next one.  The result is a tree with lots of trashed figs on them.

I have tried picking off the pecked figs and placing them in heap for the blackbirds to finish, but they do not seem to get the hint.

Grrrr.
