...please don't be alarmed, this is a yearly event. We have a lovely cherry tree in our front garden, about this time of year as the cherries ripen battle breaks out. It comes in the form of a race, the two sides that line up are me and my neighbour versus the entire pigeon population of Wanstead, it's a matter of who can get the most ripened cherries. Last year the pigeons won by a mile...this year as Baldrick would say "I have a cunning plan"...but really my money is still on the pigeons..
Ah, pigeons....
ReplyDeleteVery red!
Yes I think it's the colour that makes them look delicious to the pigeons
DeleteI remember once watching ducks eating crabapples falling off the trees in the fall.
DeleteMy MiL has a cherry tree in her yard. We harvest what we can with the ladder, but the upper stuff is all for the birds. Lucky guys!
ReplyDeleteThese always seem to reach the point of perfection when I am at the gallery, by the time I get home....

ReplyDeleteThis post made me hoot with laughter... and want to watch Blackadder again!!! Lucky you, I think I'd o.d. on your cherries and become a human scarepigeon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased it brightened your day! Wasn't Blackadder brilliant, wonderful stuff, I can't visualise you as a scarepigeon though...
