Not Ready To Admit Defeat Yet !!

Rolled the fleece back today to water and something's been at our veg!

You can see that the seedling on the right is almost gone. Did the sparrows get in under the cover or did the pigeons tuck in before we got the fleece on ?

Anti-Pigeon Device

It's us or them! To protect our precious seedlings from the pigeons and sparrows we have errected a fleece tunnel from water pipes and tent pegs. It should also give the tender plants a warmer start in life. I am worried about the fleece tearing though, time will tell.
