Slug killer and dandelion muncher


Song Thrush: the slug destroyer


Goldfinch: the dandelion exterminator

Who needs pesticides or herbicides when you've got birds who'll do the job for you? Goldfinches are getting through the dandelions at a rate of knots at the moment, while a pair of Song Thrushes are rearing a brood of chicks on worms and tiny slugs from our garden (they're nesting next door, though).
